Safety Tips

• Lock your doors at all times. Double check the door to ensure it is locked.
• Always use your door viewer before opening your door to visitors, even when you are expecting someone.
• Never prop open any exterior doors.
• Use lockable furniture for important items such as computers, tablets, documents, and other items.
• Do not leave personal items like phones, purses, or bags alone in public areas, even for a short time.
• Never share your ID with another person. Report lost IDs and keys immediately.
• Avoid letting people without an ID enter the residence hall behind you.
• Avoid walking alone at night. The university offers the Night Owls program to provide an escort when getting to and from on-campus destinations at night.
• Text a friend to let them know you are leaving a location and to expect you to arrive in a specific amount of time.
• Educate yourself on where the emergency call boxes are on campus and plan your walking route to always be near or know where the closest one is located.
