Campus
Safety Tips
- Do not leave belongings where they are visible in your car - lock them in the trunk.
- Keep track of your belongings – don’t leave them where someone could easily take them.
- Put your driver’s license number and state on your property with an engraving tool or indelible marker, but don’t put identifying information on your keychain.
- Carry insurance on all valuable property and keep an inventory of possessions.
- Avoid working or studying late on campus alone. Avoid using stairs in remote sections of the building. Never prop outside doors open.
- Walk confidently and be constantly aware of persons and things around you. Walk in pairs when possible. Stay in well-lit areas, walk mid-point between curbs and buildings and away from alleys and bushes.
- When using elevators, get on with a group of people and stand near the control panel to hit the alarm button if needed.
- If you suspect you are being followed, run toward lights and people or scream “FIRE” to attract quick attention. Turn to look at the suspicious person so he/she knows you won’t be taken by surprise and so you can provide an accurate description.
- Report all suspicious activity on campus to help make Cleveland Chiropractic College a safe place to learn and work.
- If you are a victim of sexual assault, relationship violence, stalking or other crimes, resources are available to you. Talk to someone you trust. The Office of Student Services can provide support and referral services.
- Remember - you can do all the “right things” and still be a victim of crime. Do not blame yourself or other victims.
