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

Arkansas State University has a campus police department and procedures for reporting emergencies and other safety concerns. Students should learn both how to reach emergency responders and how the university distributes urgent campus notices.

The university's emergency communications and published response guidance are more dependable than assuming a particular phone, escort service, or residence-hall feature will be available in every location. For nonemergency concerns, reporting routes may differ among police matters, residence-life issues, and sexual misconduct. Students seeking support after sexual misconduct should check the university's Title IX reporting and confidential-support options so they understand the distinction between them.

Arkansas State publishes an annual security report under federal campus-safety reporting requirements. Its statistics cover defined offenses, locations, and reporting periods; they can inform questions about campus conditions but do not capture every incident or measure an individual's personal risk.
