What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Virginia State University?
Virginia State University provides campus security resources that include around-the-clock patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Reported measures also include late-night escort or transportation service and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.
Students should learn the current emergency-notification procedure, how to contact campus police or public safety, and how to request an escort before they need one. The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to review federally reported campus-crime statistics and safety policies; those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods, so they are not a complete measure of personal risk. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should check VSU's current Title IX reporting and support procedures, including options for urgent assistance.
