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

Sonoma State has a University Police Department and campus procedures for reporting emergencies and receiving safety information. Students should learn how to contact police or emergency responders and how to enroll in or confirm their contact details for university emergency notifications.

The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to review its published crime disclosures, reporting procedures, and policies under the federal Clery Act. Such statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods; they are not a complete measure of every person's risk. Students can also review the university's procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and accessing confidential support or formal complaint processes. Anyone relying on a late-night escort or transportation service should confirm its current hours and eligibility rather than assume it operates at all times.
