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

Worcester State provides campus public-safety services, including around-the-clock patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Reported measures also include electronically controlled residence-hall entrances and a late-night escort or transportation service.

Students should learn how to reach University Police, register for the university's emergency notifications, and find the procedures for reporting a concern. Reporting options and support resources for sexual misconduct are particularly important to review in advance; emergency response, confidential support, and formal reporting serve different purposes. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for its federally required crime disclosures and safety policies. Reported incidents should be read with their location and reporting-year definitions in mind rather than treated as a complete measure of individual risk.
