What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Tennessee State University?
TSU reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and electronically operated residence-hall entrances. Students should learn the university's current emergency-notification and incident-reporting procedures when they enroll.
For a fuller account of reported incidents and campus policies, consult TSU's annual security report, which identifies its reporting years and the locations covered under federal campus-crime reporting rules. Those statistics are useful context but are not a complete measure of an individual's risk. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should use the university's current Title IX reporting and support information; for an immediate emergency, call 911.
