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

Oakwood reports round-the-clock patrol by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and a late-night transport or escort service. Students should learn how to request assistance and receive emergency alerts as part of their arrival preparations.

For a fuller picture, prospective students can review the university's annual security report, which describes reported incidents for specified years and locations as well as safety policies. Those figures require context: they reflect reporting rules and defined geography, not every incident a student might experience. Students should also identify the university's current procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining confidential or supportive services.
