What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Shaw University?

Students evaluating campus safety should consult Shaw University's current public-safety guidance and annual security report for reporting procedures, emergency contacts, and the most recent federally reported crime statistics. The annual report is a better source for specific policies than assumptions based on the campus's downtown location.

Before arriving, students can identify how to report an immediate emergency or a nonemergency concern, how the university sends emergency notices, and which offices handle sexual misconduct reports and support requests. Federally reported crime counts cover defined locations and reporting periods; they are useful context but cannot capture every experience or predict an individual's safety.
