Residence hall safety and security
During the school year, the Emc易倍体育 campuses are home to about 2,000 students that live in our residential facilities (dorm room and apartments). Enhancing the safety of residence halls requires attention to some particular security concerns:
- Close exterior doors behind you as you enter your hall. Do not allow anyone to enter who is not accompanied by another resident (Yes, even the pizza guy cannot enter unescorted).
- Escort your visitors to the exterior door when they leave.
- Soliciting and sales are not allowed in the residence halls. Report solicitors you encounter to LPS at x7233 and residence hall staff.
- Do not prop exteriors door (even when it's hot) and un-prop those that you find open.
- If a door lock is broken, call facilities services at x2227 to report
