Residents should take the following precautions concerning the protection of their property in the residence halls:
• When leaving a room, always lock the door and take the room key. If a room key is lost, residents should contact staff immediately regarding steps to
take to obtain a replacement.
• Report lost electronic access cards/fobs immediately.
• Report any broken or faulty locks to staff immediately.
• Never prop doors open.
• Do not leave laundry unattended in washing machines and dryers.
• Avoid bringing large amounts of cash or valuables to campus.
• Keep cash and valuables secure.
• Close and lock windows when rooms are unoccupied, especially first-floor rooms.
• Keep an inventory of property and, when appropriate, a list of serial numbers and manufacturers. Residents should consider engraving their name onto
the equipment or contacting the University Police Department to engrave personal property.
• Report any unfamiliar persons or individuals immediately to staff. Residents should never admit anyone into the buildings who they do not know is a
resident or a member of the University staff. Never make assumptions about strangers’ identities or credentials.
• If residents feel they are a victim of a crime, report immediately to the University Police Department at (916) 278-6000 and notify your Residence Hall staff.
