What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at California State University-Bakersfield?

CSUB has a university police department responsible for campus law-enforcement and public-safety functions. Students can also consult the university's emergency communications and preparedness guidance for instructions on alerts, reporting and responses to disruptions.

For a practical safety plan, students should find the current emergency contact information, learn how campus alerts are delivered and identify where to report concerning behavior. Reports of sexual misconduct involve separate Title IX procedures and support resources; students should review confidentiality and reporting options before deciding whom to contact.

The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally required campus-crime disclosures and relevant policies. Such figures cover specified categories, locations and reporting periods; they do not capture every experience or, by themselves, establish that a campus is safe or unsafe.
