Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Altoona

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Altoona?

Penn State Altoona has university public safety resources, emergency communications, and procedures for reporting incidents. Institutional information reports around-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices, as well as a late-night escort or transport service.

Penn State uses emergency alerts and publishes guidance for responding to urgent situations. Students should enroll in the applicable alert system, learn how to reach campus police or public safety, and check the operating details of any escort service rather than assuming it runs at all times. Sexual misconduct can be reported through Penn State's designated reporting and support channels, which are distinct from an emergency call.

Penn State's annual security report is the appropriate source for the campus's reported Clery Act crime statistics, policies, and reporting procedures. Its figures cover defined locations and reporting periods; they cannot, on their own, establish whether any person will feel or be safe on campus.
