What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at North Carolina Central University?

NCCU has a campus police and public safety function that handles incident reporting and emergency response. The university also publishes emergency information and an annual security report, which prospective students can use to review reporting procedures, policies, and federally reported campus crime statistics.

Students should learn how to enroll in the university's emergency notifications, report an urgent concern, and access help with sexual misconduct or other safety issues. The relevant reporting office may differ by incident; NCCU's police and Title IX resources explain those routes. Crime statistics cover specified locations, offenses, and reporting years, so they cannot by themselves describe every student's personal safety experience.
