Proper lighting and building security are major factors in reducing crime on campus. The University Physical Plant maintains the University buildings and grounds with a concern for safety and security. Inspections of campus facilities are conducted regularly, and repairs are made as quickly as possible. Individuals should report potential safety and security hazards, such as broken locks and windows. All members of the campus community are encouraged to report safety and security hazards to the Physical Plant or University Police.
Every effort is made to insure that all residence halls are free from uninvited guests.
Residence halls are locked except during regular visitation hours. A desk worker is on duty in all of the halls during these hours. Opposite gender visitors are checked in at the desk and escorted at all times. Timely reports are made to the campus community about any occurrences that would pose a threat to the University community. These reports are distributed in various ways depending on the nature of the information.
