Campus Safety
Appalachian State University works hard to ensure a safe and secure learning, living and working environment on its campus. The safety of our students, faculty and staff is very important to us and it is our goal to foster and support a culture and climate of safety, respect, trust, open communication and emotional support for all. To that end, we have established a Safety and Security Council to coordinate and promote all safety and security programs on campus. The Council uses an all hazard committee structure to assess and advance a security and safety culture on campus. Our three year crime statistics can be found in the below annual report.
