Peace of Mind, Day and Night: 24/7 Campus Safety

Young Harris College maintains a force of state-certified police officers that are on duty 24/7, patrolling campus, offering safety escorts, and responding quickly to emergencies.

YHC also uses an Omni Alert text system to quickly send alerts and safety updates to students, faculty, and staff.

In compliance with federal law, we release detailed annual security and fire safety reports.

Together, these efforts provide open, reliable assurance that your safety is prioritized from day one.
