South Dakota School of Mines and Technology

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at South Dakota School of Mines and Technology?

South Dakota Mines reports round-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices, along with a late-night escort or transportation service. Residence-hall entrances have electronic controls. These measures describe available resources; they do not establish that incidents cannot occur.

Students should learn how to receive campus emergency notifications, report an urgent concern, and request an escort before one is needed. The university's safety office and published emergency procedures are the relevant sources for current contact details and service hours. Its annual security report provides federally required campus-crime disclosures for specified reporting periods, but those statistics alone cannot capture every aspect of a person's experience.

Sexual misconduct reports and requests for support may follow different routes from an ordinary security call. Students seeking confidential help, formal reporting, or an explanation of their options should consult the university's current Title IX and student-support information so they understand which offices can offer each service.
