I think they can act on campus but have to call in the real police to take over from there (like a mall cop). I could be wrong though, but I doubt it. That is why they want you to come down to the school, so they have you within their little jurisdiction.
My campus cops were real police, not security guards, and they had the same authority as the city policy.
I was going to say, it depends on the campus, some huge schools like Penn State are incorporated towns, which means that the campus cops *are* the town cops (which puts a spin on the whole Joe Paterno story when people blame him for not calling the *real* cops, he did [although his actions are still criticizable in other ways]).
I think legally those campus cops either ARE cops or have such easy access to other cops to do what's needed that your best bet is to consider them real cops.
The interesting thing to me here is as another poster seconded; it's a very real chance the stalker that's texting you got her beta to do a fake call. If you haven't saved the message from the "police" you should; although cell messages don't generally get kept long.
Call the number from a pay phone and ask if it's the emergency number. They'll say "no" or ask if it's an emergency, then just say, "it's OK I was just checking to get the right numbers in my phone." If it goes to voice mail, the other poster is right someone's impersonating a police officer.

RE: So is asking a girl for directions now a crime?
If you commit a crime on their campus, they can absolutely charge you with the crime and get a warrant for your arrest. They might not be the guys picking you up in the next town over, but the effect is the same.
Unlike others on this thread, I'm not going to speculate about whether or not what you've done adds up to a crime in your state (without even knowing what state you're in). In my state, it's a non-arrestable misdemeanor...UNTIL you've been given an official No Trespass notice. They could still Summons you into court, but this is almost never done.
If you've got a couple of grand to throw without missing it, feel free to hire a lawyer. See if you can find somebody that gives free consults and see if you can get useful information before deciding to spend the money.
I personally wouldn't advise going down to the station, at the very least it's going to be an incredibly uncomfortable affair. And us veteran cops are about as good at getting people to give irrational incriminating statements as you guys are at talking women into irrationally spreading their legs....and either way, someone is likely getting fucked. There is nothing they can't communicate to you that they can't say over the phone, the purpose of getting you in person is to put you in an uncomfortable, intimidating position - why subject yourself to that?
If you do feel like talking, do it over the phone. Don't let them bully you into going into their world.
Lastly, if they have some kind of school program you can sign up for, do it, prior to talking to them. It's a lot harder to issue a No Trespass order if you can show them you legitimately have business on campus.

What's creepy? The fact that he's had enough success with opening girls by asking directions that he keeps going back to the well?
Is it creepy when a guy just says "Hey what's up?" Because let's face it, he probably already KNOWS nothing of any consequence is up the same way the OP knows the directions already.
The guy got "called out" by a girl he used the same opener on, and she reported him to the police or a dbag friend. This is nothing more than an example of a girl scorned who's using slanted feminist laws to fuck with a guy who's only crime was talking to some crazy chick to begin with.
I'm giving the OP the benefit of the doubt.
I guess I hit a bit of an insecurity button with you there so allow me to explain...
It doesn't really matter if it actually is "creepy" or not by some definition, what matters is that he was perceived that way to the point someone stopped what they were doing to alert the cops.
Guess we just have different very ways of saying "hey what's up?" Because I have done that thousands of times and never once got the cops called on me.

Every dude starting off in day game will come off "creepy" whether they realize it or not because they'll be nervous and over-eager.
I don't think it was OP's approach itself that got the girl to call campus police. Like he said in his first post, the girl he number closed earlier in the summer probably saw him do the same direction approach on another girl which weirded her out.
Weirded out, creeped out, same thing.
Point stands though, he gambled by asking the same question in the same location over and over and over. It came across to someone as creepy. I can understand why too.
Nothing wrong with him trying, I was not knocking the OP, but pointing out that his best course of action is probably to correct what part he could correct.
