Campus Safety

The University of South Dakota is committed to the safety and security of our students and employees. To educate our community members about important policies and to help keep our community safe, we prepare the Campus Safety and Fire Safety Report yearly. This report is available online through the University Police website. This site contains information required under the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security and other important campus security information. The site also includes crime statistics from the three previous calendar years—including information about on-campus locations, University-affiliated or controlled off-campus property, and public property adjacent to campus
