Ferris State reports around-the-clock security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronically controlled residence-hall entrances, and a late-night escort or transportation service. Students should learn how to reach campus public safety and how to receive emergency notifications before they need either resource.
The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to review its published crime statistics, reporting procedures, and emergency policies. Those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods; they do not capture every incident or establish that any individual setting is safe or unsafe. Students can also review the university's procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining confidential or other support, since reporting options and privacy rules differ by office.
