What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Columbia Southern University?

CSU reports access to 24-hour emergency telephone or alarm devices. Because most students study remotely, applicants should distinguish procedures at a physical university location from the resources they would use during online study or an occasional in-person event.

Students attending a CSU location or event should check the event's emergency instructions and the university's current reporting contacts. CSU's published policies and annual security report are the appropriate places to review reportable campus-crime figures, emergency procedures and how to report sexual misconduct. Crime-reporting totals cover defined locations and reporting periods; they are not a complete measure of every student's personal safety, particularly for a geographically dispersed online student body.
