College life introduces new experiences for every student. It’s a time of change and discovery. Use these resources to find important information for parents and others who support future college students.

Campus Safety

For transparency, we provide an Annual Campus Safety Report each year. This report provides an overview of crime statistics.

EWU has been named one of the safest college campuses in the country for 2018.*

To see our security policies and procedures in the event of a campus emergency, go to the Campus Safety page.

Students and families can also sign up for EWU Alerts. Get notified by text message in the event of an emergency or safety situation on campus.
