Penn State Wilkes-Barre falls under Penn State's campus safety and emergency-response policies. Students can use university reporting channels for urgent incidents and should enroll in or check the settings for Penn State emergency notifications.
Penn State publishes annual security information under the federal Clery Act, including campus-specific reported crime statistics and safety policies. Those reports are a better basis for evaluating reported incidents than an unsupported claim that a campus is either safe or unsafe; reported counts also do not measure every safety concern. Students should check the current Wilkes-Barre report for emergency contacts, reporting procedures, and resources for sexual misconduct, as well as how those services will operate during any campus transition.
