Northern State University

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

Northern State provides campus emergency measures, including emergency telephone or alarm devices and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Students should learn how the university issues emergency notifications and where to report an urgent incident before they need those procedures.

The university's campus safety and Title IX resources are the appropriate starting points for reporting a crime, seeking help after sexual misconduct, or identifying confidential and nonconfidential support. Its annual security report is the source to consult for federally required campus crime disclosures and related policies. Reported incidents have defined locations and time periods; they are not a complete measure of an individual's safety.

Students considering residence halls should review current building-access rules, guest policies, and after-hours contacts. The existence of an emergency device or controlled entrance should not be interpreted as a guarantee that an incident cannot occur.
