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

Nicholls State University reports around-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices, along with a late-night transport or escort service. Students should learn the current way to request help, since service hours and procedures can change.

Campus safety also involves knowing how to report an incident, receive emergency notifications, and access support after sexual misconduct or another crisis. The university's public safety resources and annual security report are the appropriate sources for current contacts, reporting procedures, and federally required crime statistics. Reported crime figures cover specified categories and reporting periods; they cannot, by themselves, describe every aspect of personal safety on or near campus.
