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

Bluefield State reports emergency telephone or alarm devices and electronically operated residence-hall entrances. Those measures address particular situations; they do not establish an overall level of personal safety.

Students should review the university's current emergency instructions and annual security report for reporting procedures, emergency contacts, and crime statistics with their reporting periods. They should also identify where to report sexual misconduct and obtain confidential support. A prospective resident may want to ask specifically about building access, after-hours assistance, and how emergency alerts reach students.
