Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center?

Campus safety at TTUHSC involves university and local public-safety services, emergency communications and procedures that vary by site. Students should use their assigned campus's emergency instructions rather than assume that a Lubbock procedure or telephone number applies at every regional location.

TTUHSC publishes emergency-preparedness and reporting information, including procedures for urgent incidents. Its annual security disclosures are the appropriate place to review federally reported campus crime statistics, reporting locations and the relevant calendar years. Those statistics describe reported incidents under specific definitions; they are not a complete measure of an individual's safety.

Students should also locate their campus's procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining supportive measures. Clinical training may occur at a partner hospital with its own access rules and emergency processes, making orientation at both the academic site and placement site important.
