What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Potomac State College of West Virginia University?

Potomac State reports round-the-clock patrol by trained security personnel, a late-night transport or escort service, and electronically operated residence-hall entrances. These are specific precautions, not a guarantee against crime or other emergencies.

Students should learn the campus procedure for reporting an urgent incident, requesting an escort, and receiving emergency notifications. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus-crime statistics and safety policies; its figures cover defined locations and reporting periods, not every incident a student might encounter. Students seeking help after sexual misconduct should use the university's reporting and support channels and review the available confidential-support options before choosing how to proceed.
