1. Report harassing, obscene or frequent hang-up calls to Public Safety.
2. Fire alarms are not an unusual occurrence on Campus, but you must evacuate a building upon the sounding of the alarm. Treat any alarm as an actual fire. If you are aware of the cause of the alarm, meet the responding Officers outside the building and relay the information to them.
3. If you drive, don't drink. Drinking and Driving come with severe consequences. If you are a first time offender, with a clean record, and are convicted, besides jail time, count on spending at least $5,000.00, not to mention insurance surcharges.
