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

Delaware State University reports around-the-clock security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, a late-night transport or escort service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Students should learn how to contact campus public safety and receive emergency alerts as part of their arrival preparations.

For an incident, the appropriate reporting route depends on what happened and whether immediate help is needed. The university's public safety and Title IX resources can explain emergency reporting, sexual-misconduct reporting, and available support measures. Its annual security report is the source for federally reported campus crime statistics and safety policies. Those statistics cover defined locations and reporting categories, so they should not be treated as a complete measure of an individual student's safety.
