Helpful Services
Nighttime Campus Access Control Gate - At 11:00 PM every night, the main gate onto campus is closed and all access on and off campus is made at the Southwest gate. The Campus Safety Department maintains a substation at the Southwest gate and an officer is posted there from 11:00 PM to dawn to monitor persons coming on or leaving campus. Individuals entering or departing the campus are subject to security checks for valid identification, campus destination or other relevant information.
Safety Escort Service - The Office of Campus Safety provides a safety escort service for all students to any safe destination on campus during the day or night. The escort service is provided for safety-related reasons only. Because there is safety in numbers, groups of three or more students are encouraged to walk to their destination. The escort is given by either foot or vehicular patrol.
Lost and Found Service - A "lost and found" service for displaced property is provided by the Campus Safety Department. Found property may be turned in at the Campus Safety office so that it may be returned to the proper owner.
