Tips for Staying Safe

Follow these tips to help stay safe both on campus and off:

  • Use common sense: don’t leave a purse or backpack lying around unattended
  • Don’t leave valuables exposed in your car for others to see
  • Lock your bicycle
  • Avoid walking alone at night. Use the buddy system or call for an
    escort from the RUPD at 831-5500
  • Don’t compromise building security — when you swipe yourself
    into your residence hall, don’t let others follow you without swiping unless you know them
  • Avoid going to an ATM alone
  • Sign up for the RU Alert system
