Residence Security Tips

• Keep deadbolts locked at all times.
• Have a plan of escape from your residence in case of fire or other emergency.
• Lock up even when at the pool, laundry, game room or a neighbors residence for a few minutes.
• Do not allow unknown persons into your residence hall, apartment, or house.
• Do not prop open exterior residence hall doors.
• Upon returning to your residence, if you find signs of forced entry leave immediately, seek safety, and notify the police.
• Have keys in hand to unlock doors when returning home, especially at night.
• Be familiar with the security services available to your community.
• Report all suspicious persons or activity to the appropriate law enforcement agency. 

Personal Safety Reminders 

• Whenever you are - walking between classes, in the library, shopping, driving - stay alert and tuned into your surroundings.
• Walk with a friend, whenever possible.
• Watch your purse, backpack, briefcase, recorder. Don't take a break and leave them behind. 
• Practice the Buddy System, which includes letting someone know where you are going, when you plan to return, what routes you will take and how to reach you.
• Stick to well-lighted, well-traveled areas. No shortcuts through wooded areas, parking lots, or alleys.
• Avoid jogging or biking alone. If you must go by yourself, stay clear of isolated or poorly-lit areas.
• Out late studying? Call a friend or the campus escort service S.E.T when you're ready to leave.
