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

Austin Peay has a campus police department and uses institutional emergency communications to address incidents that may affect the campus. Students should learn how to receive alerts, report an emergency, and find the university's current emergency procedures when they enroll.

For a fuller picture of reported incidents and prevention efforts, the university's annual security report is the relevant official document. Its crime statistics cover specified locations and reporting periods under federal disclosure rules; they are not a complete measure of every risk a student might encounter. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should use the university's reporting and support information, which distinguishes emergency assistance, confidential support where available, and formal institutional reporting.

Housing access rules, after-hours assistance, and transportation options can change. Students who expect to be on campus late should verify the current arrangements rather than assume a particular escort or shuttle service operates at all hours.
