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

Texas Southern University has campus public-safety resources that include trained personnel on patrol, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and a late-night escort or transportation option. Reported residence-hall measures include electronically controlled entrances.

Students should learn how to contact TSU's campus police, receive emergency notifications, and report a concern, including sexual misconduct. Procedures and service hours can change, so the university's current emergency instructions and Annual Security Report are the appropriate sources for operational details. An Annual Security Report presents crimes within specified reporting categories and years; its figures are not a complete measure of any individual's personal safety.
