Safety Tips For Students

Partner with UPD & Stay Safe

The UPD team is honored to serve the Bobcat Community. With us as your partners in safety, students can take these five steps to stay safe. 

1. Keep Residence Hall Doors Locked at all Times

Even if you are gone for a short while, lock your door.

Keep windows and doors locked while you are sleeping.

  • Do not allow anyone without an access card to follow you into the residence hall.
  • Always carry your access card.
  • Do not prop open residence hall exit doors.

2.  Take Care of Your Valuables & Money

If possible, leave valuables at home.
