Washington State University

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Washington State University?

WSU Pullman has campus public-safety resources that include trained personnel on patrol, emergency communications, and ways to request assistance. Reported campus features also include emergency phone or alarm devices, late-night transport or escort options, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.

Students should learn how to receive WSU emergency alerts, whom to call for an urgent incident, and how to report a concern in a residence hall or elsewhere on campus. Support and reporting routes for sexual misconduct are distinct from an emergency police response; students may want to understand the confidential-support and formal-reporting options before they need them.

WSU's annual security report is the appropriate place to examine its published crime statistics, policies, and reporting procedures. Those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods and cannot, by themselves, describe every student's personal experience or establish that a campus is categorically safe or unsafe.
