| Campus Crime Prevention
Crime Prevention is everyone's job on campus.
Counting yours, there are about 16,000 eyes on our campus.
Only a limited number are assigned to the Campus Police. If
you see something suspicious, or unusual give us a call.
Personal Safety
- Always keep your door locked - day or night.
NEVER let strangers in.
- Never lend your keys or leave your door unlocked
for a friend.
- Don't bring valuables to campus. Leave them
at home where they are most safe.
- Keep cash and other small valuable out of
sight.
