    Residence Hall Safety

    All residence halls are locked 24 hours a day and are equipped with combination door locks; these combinations change monthly and are only provided to residents of that residence hall. Campus Police routinely patrol the residential buildings and the entire campus on foot, bicycle, and by car.

    Bruno Entrance

    Access to the campus is monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Students, faculty, and staff are issued decals to be affixed to the windshield of their vehicles. Guests and visitors are required to sign in with Campus Police before entering the campus. The College maintains a fence around the campus to define the College property and limit access. Bruno Entrance is the only means by which to enter and exit campus; other exits may be opened in high-traffic or emergency situations.

    Call boxes/blue lights

    Blue light phones are located throughout the campus, including in parking areas. Call boxes are located at the main entrance of each residence hall. When these phones are activated, Campus Police know the exact location of the caller.
