What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Wayland Baptist University?

Wayland Baptist University is subject to federal campus-safety disclosure requirements and makes an annual security report available. That report is the appropriate place to check the institution's stated reporting procedures, emergency information and federally defined crime statistics for the locations it covers.

Prospective students should look for the current emergency-contact instructions for their own instructional location, as well as the procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining support. A Plainview campus procedure may not describe how an online student or someone at another teaching location gets assistance. Crime counts in an annual security report cover specified categories, geography and reporting years; they are not a complete measure of an individual's personal safety.
