Lamar University

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

Lamar University reports around-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices, along with a late-night escort or transportation service. Student housing also reports electronically controlled entrances. These are resources and precautions, not assurances that an incident cannot occur.

Students should learn how to contact university police or public safety, receive emergency notifications, and report a concern. The university's emergency procedures and annual security report are the appropriate sources for current instructions and federally reported campus-crime figures. Anyone evaluating those figures should check the reporting years and locations covered; reported crime counts alone cannot describe every aspect of personal safety. For sexual misconduct or harassment, students should use the university's current Title IX reporting and support information, which explains reporting options and available assistance.
