What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at University of South Carolina-Columbia?
University of South Carolina-Columbia has a campus police department and emergency communication procedures for its Columbia community. Students can report an immediate emergency through 911 and should learn how to receive university emergency alerts and follow instructions during a campus incident.

Those statistics have defined locations and reporting periods; they do not capture every experience or provide a complete measure of personal safety. Students should also identify the current reporting and support channels for sexual misconduct, including confidential help where available, before they need them.
