Safety and Security
Campus safety and security are matters of significant importance on the William Woods University campus. Personnel patrol the campus and provide a variety of protective and service-related functions. Campus Safety officers work to provide a safe and orderly environment on campus. An after-hours safe walk service is available to students who would like assistance to or from cars and buildings on campus after dark. Personnel can be contacted through the campus “HELP” number, 573-592-4357. Emergency telephones with direct links to Campus Safety and 911 are located throughout campus. Students are encouraged to sign up for Woods Alert in Owlnet or the University website. William Woods information, including emergency information, campus closings/cancellations and important announcements, will be sent through Woods Alert, a multi-platform mass messaging system.
