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

Wichita State has a university police and public safety presence, emergency communication procedures, and ways for students to report concerns. Reported campus measures include round-the-clock security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night escort or transportation assistance, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.

Students should learn how to receive campus emergency alerts, where to report an immediate threat, and how to request an escort before one is needed. Reports of sexual misconduct have separate reporting and support channels under university policy, including the Title IX process. Wichita State's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally required crime statistics and policy details; its figures cover specified locations and reporting years and should not be treated as a complete measure of any person's safety.
