GVSU maintains campus public-safety services, including patrol by trained security personnel. Residence facilities use electronically controlled entrances, but building access controls are only one part of campus safety.
Students should learn how to receive university emergency alerts, report an urgent incident, and contact the appropriate public-safety office for the campus they use. GVSU's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus-crime figures and the policies behind them; those figures require attention to reporting period and location. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should review the university's current Title IX reporting and confidential-support options, which serve different purposes.
