What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Howard Payne University?

Howard Payne University reports round-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, a late-night escort or transportation service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Students should learn how to reach campus security and how the university communicates urgent alerts before an emergency occurs.

Prospective students can consult the university's annual security report for its published crime statistics, reporting procedures and emergency policies. Those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods; they cannot describe every individual's experience. Students should also identify the current channels for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining confidential support, since those contacts may differ from the office that handles a formal complaint.
