Safety of Person and Property
Students must ensure and take responsibility for their own safety and the safety of their property by practicing fundamental crime prevention techniques. The University is not responsible for loss or theft of personal property. It is recommended that students carry applicable insurance to cover potential losses. In the event of an injury or imminent threat to anyone on campus, your first call is always 911. Security and the security manager should then be notified by calling 4911 or (817) 531-4911.
Texas Wesleyan Alerts (Alerts)
Texas Wesleyan University will provide accurate and timely information to the historic community during emergencies via the new Texas Wesleyan Alerts (Alerts). In the case of a severe weather or other emergency, the University will utilize Alerts notification technology to alert students, faculty and staff of the nature of the emergency and of any steps the recipient should take to safeguard his or her personal welfare.
Each student, faculty and staff member should report, and update as necessary, current local and home emergency contact numbers where Texas Wesleyan can most effectively provide the person time-sensitive emergency information. Usually, this will be a mobile phone or other hand-held electronic device. All Student, Faculty and Staff information submitted is confidential and secure. The University will limit use of this emergency contact information for only the most urgent campus emergencies. Once you have been assigned a University email address you will be automatically registered for Alerts within 24 hours. Registration is automatic for current employees and enrolled students. You may then log into http://txwes.edu/security/emergency to add additional devices for notification. To unsubscribe you must log into Ramlink and select the Alerts Opt-Out form, which is located on the main Student, Faculty and Employee menus in the User Account section.
Gun Free Campus
Texas Wesleyan University Board of Trustees affirmed University President Frederick G. Slabach’s decision to remain a gun-free campus by opting out of Senate Bill 11, also referred to as the campus carry bill. License handgun permit holders may not carry guns on the University campus.
