Off-Campus Safety

When living off-campus, it is important to keep personal safety in mind. Review the tips below to ensure you are taking steps to stay safe and keep your home secure.

• Do not leave valuables unattended or doors unlocked. Keep your valuables out of site if you must leave them, particularly on the first floor
• Lock all first-floor windows, fire escape windows, and security screens. Criminals learn the patterns of University breaks and target locations they believe are occupied by students on break.
• Leave an outside light on at night or request installation of a motion-sensor light.
• Make sure your locks are in good working order. Use window alarms and light timers to help deter crime, particularly during University breaks in neighborhoods near Regis.
• When returning home from a night out, always walk with friends and use well-lit paths. To be extra cautious, consider calling a taxi, Uber, or Lyft.
