General Safety Tips
- When walking to your car, especially after dark, try to walk with a group. There is probably someone in your class leaving at the same time and parked in the same general direction.
- Make sure your car is locked and don't leave items of value (ie., purses, books, etc.) in view in your parked car.
- When going to your car, always have your keys in your hand before getting to your car.
- If you happen to see someone or something that seems out of the ordinary or suspicious, don't hesitate to report it to University Police.
- Don't ever leave purses or book bags unattended, even for just a minute.
