Safety Resources
Nothing is more important than the safety of students, employees and visitors at Oklahoma
State University. The university invests significant personnel and resources to ensure
the campus is one of the safest in the region. Safety is also the responsibility of
each individual. Take the time to become familiar with these safety resources whether
you live, work, learn or visit campus.
Emergency notifications
Oklahoma State University has partnered with AT&T RAVE to implement a service called
Cowboy Alert that will notify students, faculty and staff in the event of an emergency.
In a situation deemed an emergency, OSU officials will send a message to members of
the OSU community with information regarding the event and how they should proceed.
This information may be in the form of a voice message, mobile text and/or email.
Rave Guardian
Free App for Students and Staff Turns Your Phone Into a Personal Safety Resource
As part of Oklahoma State University’s commitment to campus safety, OSU offers the
Rave Guardian app, a free mobile app that turns any smartphone into a personal safety
resource.
Crisis Response Guide
The OSU Crisis Response Guide contains best practices, resources and information for
responding to potential emergencies. The information in the guide is exactly that
— best practices to help you with decision making. Each situation is different and
every individual is ultimately responsible for his or her own safety.
