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

FSU reports round-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Its reported safety provisions also include a late-night transport or escort service and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.

Students should learn how to contact campus police, sign up for emergency notifications, and report a safety concern or sexual misconduct. The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to check its published crime statistics and reporting procedures; such figures have defined locations and reporting periods and do not capture every aspect of personal safety. Residents should also review their hall's access rules and emergency procedures.
