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

NSU reports round-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices, along with a late-night escort or transportation service. Electronically controlled residence-hall entrances are also among its reported security measures.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency alerts, report an incident, and reach campus police or public safety from their particular campus. For sexual misconduct concerns, the university's reporting and support procedures are distinct from calling emergency services during an immediate threat. NSU's annual security report is the appropriate place to review federally required campus crime disclosures and safety policies; reported incidents represent defined categories and locations, not a complete measure of every student's personal risk.
