Northwest Missouri State University

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

Northwest has a campus police and public-safety function, emergency-response procedures and ways to report incidents. Students should familiarize themselves with the university's current emergency notification system, reporting contacts and instructions for severe weather or other disruptions.

The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for its federally required campus-crime disclosures and safety policies. Such reports cover specified categories, locations and reporting periods; they do not capture every incident a person might encounter. Students seeking help after sexual misconduct should review the university's current reporting, Title IX and confidential-support options, since those routes can serve different purposes.

For day-to-day decisions, it is worth checking the current hours and procedures for campus police, residence-hall access and any evening transportation or escort option rather than assuming a service operates at all times.
