Dial 911 for emergencies or to report a crime in progress. Follow immediately with a call to Public Safety at 319-389-1774. Public Safety is available 24/7 on main campus only.
Reach out to report or discuss a non-emergency concern about:
Contact Public Safety if you witness criminal activity or are the victim of a crime on Kirkwood property or at a Kirkwood sponsored event.
Faculty, staff, students, or others who are concerned about the behavior of a student, the well-being of a student, or academic concerns are encouraged to complete the Student Concern Form.
Confidentiality laws do not prevent you from reporting the concern. A student of concern may struggle in such areas as psychological health, physical health, victimization, relationship issues, social adjustment, and academics. Changes in a student’s habits, attitude, and behavior can be a sign that a student might need extra attention or help.
If you are reporting academic concerns, please try to reach out to the student before completing the Student Concern Form.
The academic experience combined with personal struggles can often cause students to be distressed. Identifying and referring a student in distress so they can get help can be an important step to maintaining their academic success.
In non-emergency situations, contact or consult the Dean of Students.
