Campus Safety Tips

In Case of Fire:

Learn the location of emergency exits
Activate the fire alarm if you detect fire in a building
Always exit the building in the event of a fire alarm
Exit by the nearest stairway. Do NOT use elevators
Call Campus Safety and Security (3411) from one of the college house phones to notify emergency personnel
If close by, press the red button on one of the red emergency phones to be directly connected to Campus Safety and Security
Smoke is toxic. If the only way out is through smoke, stay low, below the smoke
If trapped, call 911 and tell them where you are. Seal doors with rags or clothing and try to signal from a window

General Safety Guidelines:

Stay alert and be aware of your surroundings
Avoid isolated areas
Try to avoid walking alone at night. Walk with friends when possible
Call Campus Safety (734) 973-3411 or 3411 from one of college house phones for an escort if needed
Notify Campus Safety immediately of suspicious or criminal activity
If an emergency arises – a serious health issue, a crime, or any situation in which you feel endangered, contact Campus Safety. There are phones located in all buildings across campus, as well as in several key areas outside

If Walking Alone:

Keep your mind on your surroundings, who’s in front of you and who’s behind you. Don’t get distracted
Walk purposefully, stand tall, and make eye contact with people around you
TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. If you feel uncomfortable in a situation, leave
