What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Nova Southeastern University?

NSU reports round-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices, along with late-night transportation or escort assistance and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These measures provide ways to request help and manage access; they should not be interpreted as a guarantee against crime.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency notifications, report an incident, and reach the appropriate campus safety office for the location where they study. Sexual misconduct reporting and support follow separate university procedures. NSU's annual security report is the appropriate source for reviewing disclosed campus-crime statistics and policies; its figures cover defined locations and reporting periods rather than every incident in the surrounding community.
