The University of Charleston reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, a late-night transport or escort service, and electronically operated residence-hall entrances. These measures describe available resources; they do not establish that any campus is free of crime.
Students should learn how to request an escort, report an incident, and receive emergency information before they need those services. They should also review the university's current annual security report for its stated reporting periods, campus geography, and crime statistics. Concerns involving sexual misconduct call for the institution's designated reporting and support procedures, which are distinct from ordinary requests for a security escort.
