What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Black Hills State University?
Black Hills State University maintains campus safety and emergency-response procedures, but no set of security measures eliminates risk. Students should learn how to report an urgent incident, receive university alerts, and obtain help for a nonemergency concern.
The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to review its published safety policies and federally required campus crime statistics. Those statistics describe incidents reported under specific rules and geographic boundaries; they are not a complete measure of everything a student might experience. Students seeking sexual-misconduct support should also review BHSU's current Title IX reporting and confidential-support information, including the distinction between requesting assistance and making a formal report.
