Jackson State University

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

Jackson State provides campus security resources that include around-the-clock patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Reported residential measures include electronically operated residence-hall entrances.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency alerts, where to report an immediate threat and how to seek help after sexual misconduct or another incident. The campus police or public safety office, the university's reporting channels and its Title IX resources serve different purposes; someone needing urgent assistance should use emergency services rather than wait for a routine administrative response.

Prospective students can consult the university's annual security report for federally required crime disclosures, reporting procedures and safety policies. Those statistics cover specified locations and reporting periods; they are useful context but cannot fully describe an individual's day-to-day safety.
