Campus Safety

Confidence on campus.

College years are about growth, learning, and independence. These resources help you feel grounded as you explore them.

In Your Dorm or Apartment

  • Lock your door — even for short trips down the hall
  • Know your RA and building security contacts
  • Keep valuables out of sight from windows
  • Test smoke detectors and identify exits
  • Be thoughtful about who you grant entry to common areas

Walking on Campus

  • Use well-lit, well-traveled paths after dark
  • Save your campus escort or safety service number
  • Keep one earbud out so you can hear surroundings
  • Walk with friends when possible — it's also more fun
  • Note blue-light emergency phones along your routes

Social Settings

  • Watch your drink being made; keep it with you
  • Set a check-in plan with a friend before going out
  • Trust your instincts about people and situations
  • Know how you're getting home before you leave
  • Look out for friends — and let them look out for you

Campus Resources

  • Bookmark your campus safety department's site
  • Learn what counseling and health services are offered
  • Save Title IX and student advocacy contacts
