What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Alcorn State University?

Alcorn State maintains campus public-safety procedures and publishes federally required campus-security information. Students should use the university's current emergency instructions and reporting channels for the campus where they will study; arrangements at the main campus and another instructional location need not be identical.

The annual security report is the appropriate starting point for reviewing reported campus crime, emergency-response policies, and procedures for reporting sexual misconduct. Its statistics cover defined locations and reporting years, so they should not be read as a complete prediction of an individual's safety. Students planning late classes or residence-hall living should also check current building access rules and any available transportation or escort arrangements rather than assume those services operate at all hours.
