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

ETSU has campus public-safety personnel and emergency-response resources, including round-the-clock patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Reported campus provisions also include electronically controlled residence-hall entrances and a late-night transport or escort service.

Students should learn how to contact ETSU Public Safety, receive university emergency alerts, and request an escort or report an incident under current procedures. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus crime statistics and safety-policy details; those figures cover defined locations and reporting periods rather than every incident a student might experience.

Support for sexual misconduct concerns involves reporting and assistance procedures that are separate from routine police calls. A student seeking help should consult ETSU's current Title IX and confidential-support information to understand available options and the privacy limits of each office.
