Being prepared is a shared responsibility—use these personal preparedness resources to stay informed, stay safe, and take action in case of an emergency.
On-Campus Safety
The safety of our community is our highest priority. Campus Safety proactively works to prevent incidents from occurring by providing around-the-clock safety escorts; patrolling all campus streets, byways, and interior areas; monitoring alarms and security cameras; and providing security and traffic control at special events.
Observing the following precautions on campus will also support community safety efforts:
- Never prop open exterior doors to residence halls
- Residents should always escort all guests in residence halls
- Report strangers in your hall to Campus Safety
- Report any harassing or obscene phone calls to Campus Safety at once
- Keep residence hall room doors locked, even if you leave for only a short time
- Carry your ID and keys at all times
- Walk in groups or use the Safety Escort Program after dark
- Lock your car at all times; store valuables out of sight
- Do not leave valuables such as backpacks, purses, or laptop computers unattended in public areas
- Do not loan your room key to anyone, even friends
For additional on-campus safety information, visit the REHS Safety and Security Policies webpage and the Campus Safety website.
