Appalachian State University

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

Appalachian State University has campus police and emergency-response procedures. Reported security provisions include around-the-clock patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronic residence-hall entrances and a late-night transport or escort option.

Students should learn how App State issues emergency alerts, where to report an incident and what late-night transportation is available for their location and hours. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus crime figures and safety policies. Those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods; they cannot, on their own, predict any student's personal risk.

Reports of sexual misconduct follow separate university reporting and support procedures. Students seeking help can consult the university's published reporting channels and confidential-support options to understand the difference between requesting assistance and initiating a formal process.
