Personal security is a personal responsibility. The cooperation and involvement of everyone in the campus safety program is absolutely necessary for the program to succeed. Students must assume responsibility for their own personal safety and the security of their belongings by taking simple, common sense precautions. For example, although the campus is well lit, any student — male or female — should use the campus escort shuttle or travel in pairs when returning to residence halls late at night. Room doors and windows should always be locked when they are unoccupied. Valuable items should be engraved and cataloged by the Security department. Students should always report any suspicious looking individuals to security.
