South Carolina State University

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

South Carolina State reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These measures are parts of its campus safety system, not guarantees against crime.

Students should learn how to contact campus public safety, receive emergency notifications, and report an incident. The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to check its stated emergency procedures, reporting options, and federally reported campus crime statistics. Those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods; they are not a complete measure of every person's experience.

Anyone seeking help with sexual misconduct should consult the university's current Title IX reporting and support information, including the distinction between reporting an incident and requesting confidential support. Residence-hall access policies and emergency procedures are especially worth reviewing before move-in.
