Car and Parking Lot Safety

Tips for staying safe in parking lots on campus.

  • Keep your doors locked and your windows rolled up.
  • Don’t place any personal identification (e.g. name or address) on a vehicle key ring.
  • As you approach your car, have your keys ready. Before entering, always check the back seat.
  • Don’t leave packages or valuables (cell phones, textbooks, etc.) in sight. Take them with you, put them under the seat or lock them in the trunk.
  • Periodically check your license plates to make sure they have not been stolen, switched or altered.
  • If someone tries to get into your vehicle, drive off immediately. If this is not possible, use your horn to draw attention to what is happening.
  • Consider your surroundings. Well lit, busy places are obviously the best spots to park. If you have to park in a poorly lit area and are concerned with walking to or from your vehicle call Campus Security to arrange for an escort.
  • Immediately report to Campus Security any suspicious persons or behaviour you see in the parking lots or surrounding areas.
