Safety Tips and Reminders for a New Year

As we start a new semester, it is important to be reminded of some basic residence hall and campus safety tips.

Below are some reminders for you as you live with us on campus:

• Students should walk in pairs or with a group at night when walking off-campus. 
• You can call for a Security Escort (330-672-7004) after 8:00 pm each night and a Security Aide will walk with you from anywhere on-campus to anywhere else on-campus If you have a bicycle in the halls, you are encouraged to register your bicycle with any RHD or at the Security Office in Tri Towers.
• If your bike becomes lost or stolen, it can be easily identified.
• Please remember the following about your residence hall:
  • Candles and incense are not permitted in the residence halls.
  • No more than one 12-foot long rope light or one set of 50 miniature lights are permitted in a student room.
  • No posters, flags or tapestry should be placed on the ceiling in your room.
  • Torchiere-style lamps are not permitted in your room.
  • Lava lamps are not permitted in the halls.
  • Nothing should be hung from or placed around sprinkler or fire alarms in your room.
  • Lofts or bunked beds should never be placed parallel to windows.
