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

Wheeling University reports round-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Reported residential security measures include electronically operated residence-hall entrances, and a late-night escort or transport service is listed among campus resources.

Students should learn how to contact campus security, receive emergency alerts, request an escort, and report a concern. They should also review the university's current annual security report for its defined crime-reporting categories, locations, and years. Those statistics are useful for understanding reported incidents and procedures, but they cannot establish an individual's overall level of personal safety. For sexual misconduct concerns, the university's current reporting and support procedures are the appropriate source for confidential-resource distinctions and formal complaint options.
