Residence Hall Safety

Educate Yourself

Learn emergency numbers and post them in visible areas.
Know where the nearest exits and fire alarms are located.
Check with your parents' insurance company to see if your property is covered under their homeowners’ policy while you are attending school.

Do not prop open any residence hall doors because you do not know whom you may be letting in!
Lock your door and take your keys with you even if you are just leaving for a minute … even if you are just going to the restroom.
Lock your door when you and your roommate are sleeping.
Do not leave notes on your door stating that no one is home or when you will return.
Keep all valuables out of sight and locked up if possible.
Do not keep large sums of money around.
Keep a record of all your valuable items, noting descriptions, serial numbers, and approximate monetary value of all items. These records should be kept in a secure location.
Do not loan your keys to anyone and do not attach your TUID to your keys.
Do not allow strangers into your room.
