    Be Secure

    Building/Office security:  

    • Don’t prop open building/residence hall entrance doors/windows. Rectify these situations when you observe them.
    • Don’t leave keys unattended or give them to unauthorized persons.
    • Immediately report lost keys or ID cards to the appropriate office (Plant Operations x-1000 and the Campus Card Office x-5844 on the Main Campus; Facilities x-5353 on the Health Science Campus).
    • Secure all sensitive material/information when not able to attend to it.
    • Secure sensitive deliveries in a timely manner.
    • Secure all areas when not attended. Make sure doors to loading docks and emergency exits are not propped open.
    • Be aware of unfamiliar persons in, or visitors to, your office, lab, etc.
    • Protect access codes and combinations and change codes regularly. Report compromised codes immediately.
    • Secure your laboratories, studios, darkrooms, and other areas people should not be in when unattended.
    • Be sure to keep building doors and windows locked when the building is closed and not open for business.
    • Do NOT allow tailgaters enter facilities behind you.
