Partnering to Promote Safety

Residence Safety

Residence Safety Resources - Students should familiarize themselves with campus resources regarding safety and avoid behaviors that put them at risk. Residence Advisors can answer questions and assist with problems. Residence staff are on duty each evening to help Campus Safety Special Constables to create a secure environment. Student Housing and Residence life staff members do nightly rounds of the campus residences. An on-call system assures resident issues are addressed during the evenings and weekends.
