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

Shorter University's campus safety information should be evaluated through its current emergency procedures and annual security report, rather than through a general claim that a campus is safe or unsafe. The federally required report is the place to check reported Clery Act crime statistics and the policies that accompany them.

Students should identify the current emergency contact method, how the university sends urgent alerts, and where to report a crime or a concern about sexual misconduct. Prospective residents can also ask how residence-hall access and after-hours assistance work. Clery statistics cover specified incidents and reporting locations; they do not capture every safety concern a student might face.
