compare our residence halls

Security within the residence halls is important to the Office of Residence Life.  The staff of each of the halls regulates visitation and sign-ins and the resident advisor on duty periodically tours the building to ensure a safe environment.

Each residence hall is equipped with a state-of-the-art burglar and fire alarm system, as well as 24-hour-a-day security cameras in the main lounge of the building.  Entrance doors to the buildings are locked 24 hours a day, with access to your own hall being granted only with a Hoot Loot card and personal ID code.

In addition, the University Police Department offers on-call service and assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week, throughout the entire year.  Blue emergency lights directly outside of each hall and emergency phones within the buildings give students the ability to communicate immediately with police in the event of an emergency.  All phones in the halls are equipped with 911 capabilities for direct access in the event of an emergency.
