Safety Tips

  • Immediately report all crimes and/or suspicious behavior to the Campus Police Department.

  • Do not leave personal items unattended, and always lock your vehicle doors, keep the windows shut, and keep valuables out of sight.

  • Report lost or stolen checks, debit/credit cards, and cellphones to the appropriate companies. Keep a list of your credit card account numbers in a safe place in order to report them.

  • Use the “buddy system” when leaving classes late in the evening or call Campus Police for escorts.

  • If you discover a crime scene, do not touch anything. Get to a safe place and notify Campus Police immediately.

  • Constantly play the “what if” game to think about what you would do in a threatening situation. This will help prepare you to respond instinctively when a threat is encountered.
