What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Stephen F Austin State University?

SFA has a university police department responsible for campus law-enforcement services and emergency response. Students should learn how to reach campus police, receive university emergency notifications, and report concerns before an urgent situation occurs.

The university publishes an annual security report under federal campus-safety requirements. That report is the appropriate place to examine its stated policies and reported crime statistics, with attention to the years and geographic categories covered. Reported incidents are not a complete measure of every student's personal risk.

Students seeking help with sexual misconduct or another safety concern should use SFA's current reporting and support procedures, including information about confidential resources and Title IX processes. Services such as escorts, residence-hall access arrangements, and notification tools should be confirmed against current university instructions rather than assumed to be available in every location or at every hour.
