Personal Safety Tips
Safety is everyoneās responsibility and there are things you can do to create a safer environment for everyone.
- Always lock your door. Whether you are sleeping or just leaving your room for a short period of time, but especially when you are not there. Residences are safe, but it takes only a moment for a thief to grab a laptop.
- Never leave your belongings unattended in the dining halls, library, lobbies, common rooms etc.
- Lock your windows and doors at night and draw your blinds.
- Report any stolen belongings to Ā鶹AV security: 514-398-3000 and SHHS Protection Services: 514-398-7772
- Report any lost keys/ID cards, to your front desk during the day or call 514-398-7772 after regular front desk office hours.
- Do not lend your keys or access cards to anyone.
- Do not allow anyone to tailgate into your residence.
- If someone claims to be a visitor, ask for their friendās name and room number. If the āvisitorā causes any problems, call Protection Services at 514-398-7772, advise a protection patroller, Residence Life Manager or the front desk staff.
- Do not buzz anyone you donāt know into the building. Always go to the door to see who it is.
- Do not ask the food delivery drivers to come up to your room. Instead meet them in the lobby.
- Do not prop open emergency doors and residence hall doors that are supposed to be closed.
- Do not jump over the turnstiles.
- Please only use emergency exits in emergencies; otherwise, someone could enter from outside undetected.
- Do not go up onto the roof. This is taken very seriously as we donāt want anyone to get hurt. If you are caught on the roof, you will be subject to a $ 250 fine and discipline under the Ā鶹AV Student Code of Conduct.
