In accordance with the Higher Education Act of 1965, you have the right to know certain information about Saint Martin's University including a variety of academic information, financial assistance information, institutional information, information on completion or graduation rates, institutional security policies and crime statistics. As part of our compliance with this regulation, we present the reference chart below.
Your safety
The safety of our students is a priority at Saint Martin's University. Historically, this has been a safe haven from the busy world. Our campus and isolated wooded acres, recently encroached upon by the increasingly rapid growth of the City of Lacey and surrounding Thurston County, are beginning to experience the pressure of a growing population. No community is totally risk-free in today’s sometimes violent society. We recognize the potential for increased crime associated with local growth and development and its location near Interstate-5, the West’s Coast’s main north-south corridor. In this section, we provide the campus safety report, including crime rates, as well as tips to keep our students secure while they attend the university.
All security concerns should be reported to the Saint Martin's University Office of Public Safety immediately.
