Student Responsibility

The coordination between students and the Public Safety Department is the link to the safest campus possible. Students must take the responsibility for their personal safety and protection of their personal belongings. Safety can be enhanced by using the 24-hour escort service when out around campus at night. Parking your vehicle in lighted areas and locking all doors will help protect your vehicle from theft and vandalism.

Students are urged to take the safety of their residence hall very seriously. We urge students to report any persons who they do not believe belong in their hall to Public Safety immediately. Also, any unusual incidents in and around their residence should be reported.
