What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Southern Arkansas University Main Campus?

SAU reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronically controlled residence-hall entrances, and a late-night escort or transportation service. Students should check current operating hours and procedures for any service they expect to use.

For practical preparation, residents and commuters alike should learn how to contact campus public safety, where emergency alerts are delivered, and how to report a concern after hours. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally required campus-crime disclosures and safety policies. Reported incidents cover defined categories and locations; they do not by themselves establish that every person will have the same experience. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should use the university's published reporting and support channels, including information about confidential and nonconfidential options.
