Safety & Security

Student Responsibility

Safety and security are everyone's responsibility. Students are encouraged to behave safely and obey campus regulations. Unauthorized persons are not allowed to simply loiter on campus. All students should report any person in violation of campus regulations (308-6505). All accidents, whether personal or vehicular, should be reported to campus security immediately.

The cooperation, involvement, and personal support of students in a campus safety program are essential to the success of the program. Students must assume responsibility for their own personal safety and security and the security of their personal belongings by taking common sense precautions. The students' awareness of their environment and their surroundings is the best place to start.

• Exterior doors to residential areas should never be propped open.

• Room doors should always be locked even when the student leaves for a short time.

• Keys should be carried at all times and never loaned to others.

• Cars should be locked at all times and valuables should be concealed or placed in the trunk.

• The combinations to outside dormitory doors are considered secret and should never be given out to friends.
