Safety Tips

Notify Campus Safety (330-471-8111) when:

• Questionable strangers are on our campus, or in the residence hall.
• A strange/unknown vehicle appears on campus.
• There is a problem with student safety.
• There are situations which require the attention of the Canton City Police.

The cooperation and involvement of students and employees in campus safety is absolutely essential. All must assume responsibility for their own personal safety and for the security of their belongings by taking simple, common-sense precautions:

• Never carry large amounts of cash with you.
• Always keep your residence hall room locked.
• Always lock valuables out of sight. Carry wallets, checkbooks, and purses with you.
• Always keep your car locked.
• Park in busy, well-lit areas.
• When approaching your locked car at night, be alert, have your key in hand ready to open the door, pay attention to movement around/under your car, check the back seat before getting in, lock your door after entering.
• Hang up immediately if you receive a prank, obscene, or harassing phone call and report it to a staff member or safety officer.
• Do not go out at night alone, especially for a walk or jog.
• Be careful where you leave book bags and coats, especially if they contain cell phone, keys, etc.
• Report anything unusual to a staff member or safety officer.
