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

Southern Virginia University reports 24-hour patrols by trained security personnel and emergency telephone or alarm devices available around the clock. Students should learn how to contact campus personnel, receive emergency alerts, and report a concern before they need those services.

Campus safety also includes procedures for emergencies and for reporting sexual misconduct. Prospective students can review the university's current annual security report for its published policies and reported Clery Act crime statistics. Those statistics cover specified categories, locations, and reporting periods; they are useful for asking questions but are not a complete measure of anyone's personal safety.
