Report immediately to Police and Security any thefts or attempted thefts as well as suspicious activity so that officers may be dispatched to investigate. A Campus-Wide Card Access System has been installed in all residential dorms and in several administrative buildings on campus. There is a 24 hour monitoring of the system and an officer is dispatched if a door is propped or held open too long, or forced open. As with all technology, the system is not infallible and all students are advised to remain vigilant with regard to security matters. Parking Students are not encouraged to bring cars to the University .
Parking is extremely limited on the East Side in the vicinity of the campus.
Additionally, the City of Providence does not allow overnight parking on the streets. Due to limitations of space and zoning restrictions, the University cannot provide parking space for all faculty, staff, and students. Use of University parking lots is restricted to individuals who have obtained a valid parking permit from the University. These lots are not continuously patrolled by University Police and Security personnel and should be accessed at night with extreme caution. The rate of incidence of car theft and vandalism is high in Providence.
