What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Philander Smith University?
Philander Smith University reports 24-hour patrols by trained security personnel, around-the-clock emergency telephone or alarm devices, and electronically operated residence-hall entrances. Those measures describe available resources, not a guarantee against crime.
Students should learn how to report an emergency, receive campus alerts and contact staff after hours when they enroll. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally required campus crime disclosures and safety policies. Anyone comparing reports should note the years and geographic categories covered rather than treating a single statistic as a complete measure of personal safety.
