How is safety ensured in the residence halls?
A. Each apartment and individual bedroom is key-entry. The residence halls use a swipe-card entry system and are locked 24 hours each day. Public Safety officers work with the residence life staff to provide a safe and secure environment. Additionally, security cameras are in each building. Public Safety Officers patrol the residence halls regularly. Resident Assistants (RAs) and a Resident Director (RD) are also on duty each night; RAs can be found in the RA Offices until midnight and reached through the duty cell phone after that. Residents are required to comply with instructions provided by Public Safety Officers and Residence Life staff. Details about campus fire safety and our Emergency Response Guide are available from the Office of Public Safety.
