Prevention Tips

• Avoid walking alone at night. Walk with a friend or within a group, or you may call Campus Safety at x7441 for an escort between dusk and dawn (8:00 PM until 8:00 AM in the summer).
• If you are in immediate danger call x7911 if possible, or scream, or run to attract attention and assistance. Emergency phones are located outside of each residence hall main entrance and throughout campus.
• Never let anyone into a residence hall unless you know they are a participant of a conference.
• Never prop open outside doors. You will be placing everyone inside at risk.
• Keep your room door locked whether you are in or out of your room. Leaving a door unlocked is a dangerous mistake, one that has cost lives on other campuses.
• Do not leave purses, backpacks or books unattended anywhere on campus.
• Always remove your keys and lock your vehicle. Park in campus lots. Vehicles that have been vandalized have most often been parked along the street. PLU is not responsible for vandalism in lots or on streets. Avoid leaving valuables in your vehicle.

• Smoking: Smoking is not permitted in any campus building, or within 50 feet of any building or walkway.
• Appliances/Lamps: Appliances such as hair dryers and curling irons must be unplugged when not in use. Microwaves, irons, ovens, toasters and electric blankets are prohibited in residence hall rooms. Irons may be used in designated ironing or laundry rooms only. Halogen lamps are not permitted.
• Open Flames: Opens flames and other burning materials are not permitted. This includes candles, incense and potpourri burners.
• Hallways & Fire Doors: All hallways and fire doors should be kept free of boxes, bicycles and other debris at all times so that people may exit safely in the event of an emergency.
• Room Entrance/Exit: Beds or barriers of any sort cannot block the entrance/exit of a room. To insure proper access, all items must be at least 36 inches from directly behind the door frame.
• Fire Alarms & Extinguishers: In the event of a fire, pull the nearest fire alarm to clear the building. After exiting the building, do not re-enter until you are instructed to do so. Never enter a building when the fire alarm is sounding. It is illegal to tamper with the fire alarms, fire extinguishers, or fire hoses, and severe penalties will be assessed to individuals or groups known to have tampered with fire safety equipment.
