Personal Belongings

Although every effort is made to provide protection for students' personal property, the college cannot assume responsibility for the loss of a students' belongings. We ask that everyone join the department of Campus Safety in a spirit of shared responsibility for property. Here are some common sense tips to help protect personal belongings.

  • Never leave valuables such as purses, wallets, credit cards, keys and computer unattended.
  • Don't lend or give your room key to anyone.
  • Never tell anyone your PIN for your MAC or other bank machine account.
  • Record information such as serial numbers and keep them in a safe place.
  • Never leave your room unlocked, even for a few minutes.
  • Always lock your vehicle; don't leave valuables in view; secure them in the glove compartment or trunk.
  • Always lock your bike when leaving outside a secure area.
  • Consider engraving all your belongings such as bicycles, electronics, etc.

Fire Alarms

The Department of Campus Safety is responsible for all fire safety programs at the College. Officers respond whenever a fire alarm is activated in any campus building. If a fire alarm sounds, all persons should leave the building immediately and proceed to a safe location away from the building. Students should follow directions provided by campus Safety officers and other College staff and faculty members. Students should take the time to be familiar with exit pathways in all campus buildings. Back To Top
