In addition, university apartments are staffed with resident managers. Housing staff, inform residents of safety and security information via handbooks, meetings and awareness programming. To assure the safety of all residence hall occupants, residence halls are locked 24 hours a day and keys are provided to residents upon check-in. Guests must be escorted by a resident at all times. Telephones have been placed in building lobbies for guests to contact residents and instructions for obtaining a resident s telephone number are located above the telephone.
Key security is a high priority.
Residents are encouraged to report lost or stolen keys immediately so that a lock change can be initiated. Firearms, dangerous weapons and fireworks are not permitted in the residence halls. Possession or use of firearms, weapons or fireworks elsewhere on campus requires written permission from the Campus Police Director. Occasionally, escorts may be delayed and people requesting the service are asked to be patient.
