Personal Safety
Residence Halls
Shared spaces are safer when everyone helps protect access points, reports concerns, and treats residence hall security as part of daily life.
This is your home
Think of your residence hall as your home. Remember that by taking a share of the responsibility to keep your residence safe, you can make a difference. Contact residential life staff regarding your security/safety concerns.
Keep doors locked
Keep doors locked, even if you are going to be gone only a few minutes.
Solicitation is prohibited
Door-to-door solicitation is prohibited on campus. Please report the presence of solicitors to the Police Department.
Report suspicious individuals
Notify the Police Department or residential life staff of suspicious individuals who appear to be "hanging around."
Follow security regulations
Take security regulations seriously for your own protection.
Keep exterior doors secure
Do not prop open and report unsecure exterior doors. These are locked for your protection.
