A surprising number of thefts occur when you leave for only a few minutes. Walk in lighted areas and avoid isolated locations When you are on campus at night, only walk in lighted areas. If possible, walk with a friend and avoid taking shortcuts. The shortest route is not always the safest.

If you find a door propped open, secure it. Report thefts and safety concerns If anything of yours is stolen, report the theft or unsafe circumstance to Public Safety and Police Services immediately.
