What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Dakota Wesleyan University?

Dakota Wesleyan reports around-the-clock patrol by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night escort or transportation service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These measures are resources for reporting and response, not a guarantee against incidents.

Students should locate the university's current emergency contacts and notification instructions when they arrive. Its annual security report is the appropriate place to review federally reported campus crime statistics and related policies; those statistics cover specified locations and reporting periods rather than every event a student might experience. Students seeking help after sexual misconduct should review the university's current reporting, confidential-support, and Title IX procedures to understand which offices can provide each type of assistance.
