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

Georgia Southwestern reports trained security personnel on patrol around the clock, emergency telephone or alarm devices, a late-night transport or escort service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These measures provide ways to seek help and manage access; they do not eliminate risk.

Students should learn how to contact campus public safety, receive emergency alerts, and report an incident. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for its published campus crime statistics and safety procedures. Reports of sexual misconduct may also involve Title IX procedures and support services; the reporting route and confidentiality rules depend on the office contacted.
