Marshall University

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

Marshall maintains campus public-safety services and emergency-response procedures. Reported resources include around-the-clock patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night escort or transportation services, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency alerts, report an immediate threat, and request an escort before they need those services. Marshall's published annual security information is the appropriate source for federally reported campus-crime figures and safety policies. Those figures cover defined locations and reporting categories; they are not a complete measure of every risk a student might encounter.

Sexual misconduct concerns can involve both safety reporting and access to supportive measures. Students who need to report an incident or seek confidential help should distinguish the roles of campus police, the Title IX office, and counseling or health services, since confidentiality and reporting obligations can differ.
