Duke University Police, emergency services, health services and university reporting routes support the Durham campus. Students should save Duke Police and local emergency contacts, read the current safety guidance and confirm any programme-specific fieldwork or clinical procedures. No university page guarantees personal safety; students remain responsible for travel, weather and local-risk planning. International students use Duke's Visa Services and the relevant undergraduate, graduate or professional-school office for immigration documents and arrival guidance. Academic advising, counseling, health, disability access, libraries and career support are administered through school and campus services. Visa eligibility, insurance and registration steps must be confirmed after the written offer.
