All other residence hall ground level exterior doors are locked 24 hours a day and equipped with an emergency fire exit alarm. Our student apartments have steel window latch locks and dead bolts on the apartment doors. Our residence hall rooms have steel window latch locks and deadbolt locks on the doors. Two professional Residential Life coordinators supervise the student residence hall staff team members who live and work in the residence halls. The residence hall staff receives job training for a two-week long staff training program prior to the beginning of the academic year.
Additional training is conducted throughout the academic year.
Residence hall security procedures and enforcement of residence hall regulations are incorporated into their training program. Two University Police substations have been established in the residence halls to foster a more community-based safety and security program within the residence hall system. Two professional residence hall security officers, directly supervised by University Police are employed by the Office of Residential Life to staff these offices and ensure the safety and security of on-campus residence hall occupants and guests. These officers work seven nights a week, enforcing both university and Residential Life policies. They keep constant patrol of residence hall lobbies, hallways, grounds and parking areas in and around the residence halls.
