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

Ouachita reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronically controlled residence-hall entrances, and a late-night transport or escort service. Students should learn how to contact campus public safety and receive emergency alerts when they enroll.

The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to review its published crime statistics, reporting procedures, and prevention policies. Those statistics cover specified incidents, locations, and reporting periods; they are not a comprehensive measure of an individual's safety. Students should also identify the university's current process for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining confidential support, since emergency response, formal reporting, and counseling serve different purposes.
