San Jose State University

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at San Jose State University?

San José State has a University Police Department responsible for campus law-enforcement and public-safety functions. Students can also use the university's emergency-alert and reporting channels to receive instructions or report concerns.

Emergency planning is most useful when students know how to enroll in alerts, where to find current instructions, and whom to contact for urgent versus nonurgent matters. SJSU publishes an annual security report with federally required crime disclosures and safety-policy information. Those reported incidents cover defined locations and reporting years; they should not be read as a complete prediction of an individual's safety. Students seeking help after sexual misconduct should review the university's Title IX reporting options and confidential support resources, which serve different purposes.
