Learn Residence Hall Security Procedures

When you check into a residence hall, you receive information about campus safety and residence hall security, such as:

Whom to call in case of an emergency;
What procedures to follow in case of a fire evacuation;
How to mark valuables;
Visitation, alcohol, and drug policies; and
General campus safety, among other topics.

At your first floor meeting, which is mandatory and held by the RA, you can acquaint yourself with unique aspects of your residence hall community and the security practices you can follow to make your University environment safer.

Posters promoting safety are prominently displayed throughout the residence halls. The Office of Residence Life sponsors a series of safety and security programs every year.
