Student safety is a top priority at Carnegie Mellon, and we work hard to offer peace of mind and keep you safe and sound:

  • The university employs a police department whose staff of police officers and security guards patrol the campus 24 hours a day on foot, by car and by bicycle. Learn more about how our police department utilizes proactive training to stay informed on best practices and community engagement.
  • The Carnegie Mellon University Police Department offers late-evening escort service to academic and residence buildings.
  • Regular on- and off-campus shuttle bus service is available to university apartments in the Oakland and Shadyside areas.
  • Campus emergency telephones are always close at hand.
  • We offer a free program for registering personal property, as well as safety tips and safety and security seminars.

Annual Safety and Athletics Reports

You deserve complete transparency, and we comply with the highest standards of safety reporting.

  • The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA), requires institutions of higher education that participate in federal financial aid programs to make available an annual security and fire safety report and an annual equity in athletics report.
  • As required by law, Carnegie Mellon University’s security and fire safety report describes security, alcohol and drug, sexual assault and fire safety policies, and contains statistics on the number and type of crimes committed on campus and cause of fires in campus residence facilities during the preceding three years. You can obtain a copy by contacting the Carnegie Mellon Police Department at 412.268.6232 or by sending an email. The annual security and fire safety report is also available online at https://www.cmu.edu/police/annualreports/index.html.
  • The equity in athletics report contains information about Carnegie Mellon University’s intercollegiate athletics program, including data regarding sport sponsorship, student-athlete participation, and program revenues and expenses. A printed copy of the university’s most recent report is available upon request by calling the Department of Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation at 412.268.8054 or by sending an email to the Director of Athletics. The information is also available online each November 1 at https://ope.ed.gov/athletics.
