West Virginia State University

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

West Virginia State University reports around-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices, along with a late-night escort or transportation service. Electronically controlled residence-hall entrances are another reported measure. These services reduce particular risks; none establishes that an individual situation will be risk-free.

Students should locate current emergency contacts, learn how campus alerts are delivered, and check the operating hours and request process for an escort before they need one. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus-crime statistics and safety policies. Those statistics require attention to reporting year and geography and are not a complete measure of personal safety.

Anyone seeking help after sexual misconduct should review the university's Title IX reporting and support procedures, including how to reach a confidential resource if one is available. Emergency situations require immediate contact with emergency responders rather than an ordinary online report.
