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

Kennesaw State has a university police and public-safety operation and uses campus emergency communications and response procedures. Reported measures include around-the-clock security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night escort or transport service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.

Students should learn how to receive campus alerts, contact university police, and report concerns on the campus where they spend time. The university's published annual security report is the appropriate place to examine Clery Act crime disclosures and the reporting period behind them. Those disclosures are useful, but they do not capture every risk or predict an individual's experience.

Sexual misconduct reporting, confidential support options, and emergency response serve different purposes. Someone seeking help should check the university's current Title IX, counseling, and police resources to identify the appropriate contact and understand which conversations are confidential.
