Western Governors University

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Western Governors University?

For most WGU students, safety and security involve online accounts, personal information, and the sites of any required in-person placements rather than daily use of a residential campus. Students should follow WGU's account-security instructions and know how to report suspected phishing or unauthorized access.

WGU maintains reporting and support procedures for concerns such as sexual misconduct. Students undertaking clinical work or student teaching should also learn the emergency and incident-reporting procedures of their placement site; those may differ from university procedures. The existence of a Salt Lake City headquarters does not establish that dormitory access controls, late-night escorts, or other residential-campus services are available to online students. Anyone visiting a WGU facility should check the instructions for that location and event.
