Stay safe on campus at night

Although we encourage you to utilise the Night Safety Shuttle / Night Escort Service, there will be times when you cannot. In those cases follow these guidelines: 

• Travel with a friend or in a group 
• Be alert and aware of your surroundings 
• Avoid dark, vacant or deserted areas; use well-lit, well travelled routes. 
• Dress in clothes and shoes which will not hamper movement 

• Move away from the potential threat if possible. 
• Join any group of people nearby; cross the street and increase your pace. 
• If a threatening situation is imminent, and people are close by to help, yell, scream or make a commotion in any way you can to get their attention. 
• Go to an open business. 
• Call Campus security from a safe location, use campus emergency phones where available.
