Housing Services: Security

The primary responsibility for the safety and security of the residence hall rests with you. Residents are urged to carry their FSC One Card/keys with them at all times. Never prop entry doors open, let strangers into the hall and keep your room doors locked.

Security

Securing of Residential Buildings

For safety and security purposes, all exterior doors are locked 24 hours a day and entrance into any residence hall must be made through the building’s main entrance. Your FSC One Card/keys will provide access to the building where you live, but not into any other residence hall.

Three of the five residence halls operate service desks that provide additional security when open by checking One Cards and registering guests. This is only one of the many functions of these desks. These individuals help monitor the front entrance of the facilities, but the primary responsibility for your safety, and that of fellow neighbors, is yours.


Additional Services Offered by FSC Campus Police
Campus Police

The residence halls strive to provide an environment that is safe and secure. In addition to the services we provide to promote safety and security, there are several programs available to you.

Operation I.D.

Operation I.D. is a program to engrave residents’ valuable possessions to deter a thief. The program is sponsored by the departments of Campus Police and Housing and Residential Services. Campus Police will engrave your items at your request and provide you the means to record the serial numbers of your valuable equipment.

Student Auxiliary Patrol

The Campus Police department also sponsors a student volunteer escort program that is available on most weeknights to provide assistance for students wanting to travel across campus in the evening.
