Fairmont State University

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

Fairmont State reports round-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices, along with electronically operated residence-hall entrances. These measures are part of campus safety operations, not a guarantee against incidents.

Students should learn how to contact campus public safety, receive emergency notifications, and report a concern. The university's current annual security report is the appropriate source for its published Clery Act crime statistics, reporting definitions, and emergency procedures. Those statistics cover specified locations and reporting years; they do not capture every circumstance affecting an individual's safety.

For sexual misconduct or harassment concerns, students should use the university's current reporting and support channels, including its Title IX information. Confidential counseling and a formal institutional report can serve different purposes, so it is worth checking which office offers each option.
