The growing, widespread acceptance of this system is primarily due to the ease, simplicity and effectiveness of the tactics, solid research, legal defensibility and unique teaching methodology. This policy allows students to return at any time to any RAD course offered in the United States and Canada and practice free of charge. RAD is for women only. The contents of the course were developed based on the natural movements and abilities of women in order to maximize a woman's ability to defend herself. Anyone under the age of 18 must have a signed parental consent form prior to the start of the course in order to participate.
Attendance is limited, and is on a first-come, first served basis.
PSU students, faculty and staff receive first consideration when registering for a RAD course offered by University Police. RAD courses are offered numerous times throughout the year. If you have a group of women interested in a RAD class, we may be able to schedule a class specifically for your group. Contact the Community Education Office if you wish to discuss this option. The Community Education Office can give you the dates for the next RAD class with openings, or place your name on a waiting list, and you will be contacted as soon as a class with openings is available.
