Safety at Home
Whether you are living on or off campus, safety always matters.
-
Make sure the door closes behind you and no one enters after you.
-
You have the right to ask someone to scan their ID or provide proof that they live in your building.
- Lock your doors every time you leave.
- Do not put your room number or name on keys as they may be lost.
- Ensure that door and window locks are working.
- Secure them every time you go out and before you go to bed.
- Have your landlord to fix any locks or improve security where needed.
- Take anything valuable home with you during vacation.
- Protect your belongings; try to personalize items so that they are easily recognized.
- When arriving home ask the driver to wait until you are inside your home.
- Have your keys ready to let yourself in quickly.
- If there are signs of intrusion when you return home, do not enter. Go to a trusted neighbor and call the police.
