Safety and Security

Safety in the residence halls is everyone’s responsibility. There are a number of things the university does to promote safe environments. They include: • Locking of residence hall doors 24/7 with the exception of designated times for move-in and move-out. • Residence Life staff are on-call outside of regular office hours to respond to emergencies. • University Police are available 24/7 for emergencies and crisis response. Students are also expected to assume responsibility for their safety. Students are asked to do the following: • Lock their room door even when they are in their room. • Be aware and cognizant of their surroundings. • Not allow other students or individuals to “tailgate” into the residence hall behind them.

• Report any suspicious persons or behavior to the appropriate staff member of call University Police at 715-425-3133. During the hours in which the Residence Life office is closed, students can reach a staff member by calling the Duty Phone. This phone number is posted on all outside doors of the residence halls. In the event of an emergency, students should call 911.
