-
You should report all incidents involving
vandalism, theft, damage or persons in the residence hall that are not escorted or are
suspicious in nature.
-
When leaving your residence hall room, whether it
is to visit a next-door neighbor or to use the restroom, always lock the door and take the
key. Lock your door, even if you only plan on being gone a few minutes.
-
Avoid keeping high value items and large amounts of
cash in your residence. For valued items you do keep on hand, keep them out of sight and
well hidden. The same procedure applies to your checkbook and your unused check supply as
well.
-
Engrave items of value and be sure to maintain a
record of serial numbers of such items as personal computers, TVs radios, stereos,
answering machines, cameras, etc. A copy of this record should also be maintained at
another offsite location. You should engrave your driver's license # and state on items.
Driver's license #'s are easier for police to track.
-
Don't let strangers in the building or allow them
to "tailgate" or follow you through after you open the door.
-
Do not lend your room key, residence hall key, give
out the residence hall combo or prop open doors. The residence hall is like your home,
nobody should enter same without you wanting them there. These are college violations.
-
Entrance doors to the residence halls should never
be propped open. The locks are designed to allow only residence of the hall to have
access. Propping doors open will allow non-residences to enter, jeopardizing yours and
everyone else's safety.
-
All visitors, student and non-student, are required
at all times to be escorted while in a residence hall by the person they are visiting.
-
All visitors are to be escorted out of the
residence halls when leaving.
-
All suspicious person(s) need to be reported
immediately to your RA, RD or Security.
-
All crimes need to be reported immediately to your
RA, RD or Security.
-
Do not leave notes on your door that you are not
there. That is an invitation for some unwanted person to enter your room.
-
Keep your shades drawn when changing clothes or
retiring for the night.
-
Purchase locking devices if you have your own
computer and printer in your room.
