Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Spelman takes on-campus security very seriously. Spelman has set visitation hours in the dorms specifically for males. This decreases the likelihood of non-Spelman students wandering the grounds after hours. You have to have both a dorm key and a room key to get in after midnight. Violent crime on campus is next to nonexistent, and the most you might have to deal with in the dorms is someone taking your calculator out of the study hall. At times, you will find yourself on the surrounding campuses of Morehouse, Morris Brown College, and Clark Atlanta University (CAU). All three of these schools have full-time security, but one thing to keep in mind when you are walking in the areas around campus is that Spelman security does not patrol these areas as often. You won’t find too many campuses safer than Spelman College. For many years, the entire college has been surrounded by an iron gate, and the school has front and back gate entrances, both of which are monitored by security at all times. The back gate is generally only open during school hours. The front gate is always open, but vehicle traffic is closely monitored. You cannot get on campus without being checked for credentials by an officer. Of course, it is a little easier for women to get on campus, as they will assume you are a student.

Our Public Saftey

The safety on Spelman's campus is one of the best. The whole school is gated, with 24 hour security. It is very strict when it comes to guys; before being let on campus they must show a picture i.d. Our Public Safety officers don't play when it comes to the woman of Spelman College

Public safety here is on point! The security staff really does their job well and they are very friendly! Some even evangelize on the low. Praise God!

Spelman Public Safety

Spelman Public Safety might just be the best public safety system in the LAND. They are always on their job, to make sure that us Spelmanites are as safe as possible. There is always an officer manning each entrance to the campus, and they check every male's ID before they can enter campus. Public Safety is a number that every Spelman student has in their phone. There is very little to no crime on campus, and any crime that happens is always swiftly taken care of.
