Maintaining safety on a college campus is a nationwide concern. While Huston-Tillotson University is protected with a 24 hour, 7 days a week public safety patrol, Being alert and aware at all times is the best method of defense, and knowledge will help students with personal safety.

Please adhere to the following steps residents can take to ensure safety for themselves and their peers:

·         Do not leave room doors unlocked

·         Do not prop open front doors to buildings or let anyone without a key enter the building after you

·         Do not allow anyone into the building if they are not your visitor and have not been properly signed in during visitation hours

·         Report persons excessively loitering around the building immediately to Public Safety

·         Do not give friends your room key. Be sure to keep your keys in a safe place to prevent misplacing them

·         Do not walk alone after dark, and whenever possible, travel in groups
