General Security
The University is committed to maintaining high standards for safety in all areas. Every effort is made to provide adequate security by the University Security Department and the Residential Life Staff, but, when it really gets down to it, a great deal of the responsibility lies upon the residents. Dial x2222 (Security) immediately if you see suspicious individuals around the residence halls or witness an incident. Then notify your Dean or RA (See "RIght to Know", a pamphlet published by University Patrol).

Escort Service
Call for a Campus Assistant Patrol (CAP) officer from Security in the evening or walk with a friend(s).

Residence Hall Security
Here are a number of actions you must take to help make the residence halls secure and safe for all involved in residence life.

• ALWAYS lock your room door and windows when leaving even if you are going to be gone only a few minutes. Thieves are quick! Residents have had their wallets stolen even while asleep in their own rooms, so it's good idea to lock your door during naps and upon retiring for the night.
• Make a list of all of your personal belongings, including identifying serial numbers.
  Record all numbers of credit cards and checking accounts, keeping the addresses of credit cards and bank originators so that you may contact them in the event of a theft.
  Keep all money in Student Bank (Cashiers). Do not keep large amounts of cash in your room.
• Consider leaving your valuables and family heirlooms at home.
  NEVER prop open public area doors that are supposed to be locked. Be sure these doors lock after you leave or enter the building.
• Do not let anyone into the halls that does not belong there. Ask them who they are looking for and refer them to the Dean or the RA-on-duty for help.
  Never lend your key to anyone. It is a misdemeanor for a person to duplicate or have in his/her possession any key to a building controlled by the university without proper authorization.
• Avoid walking alone anywhere at night, if possible. Use a buddy system. This is for men and women!!!

Keyless Entry Doors in Angwin, Calkins and Gladwyn
ID cards unlock the security doors which allows residents to come and go on their own schedules. Your card is never to be loaned to anyone at any time. Loaning or tampering with an ID card for the purpose of illegal entry to a residence hall will lead to a disciplinary action.

Security Office (University Patrol x2222)
The operation of a vehicle on campus is a privilege granted by the University and is not a right of any employee, student, or visitor. La Sierra University Vehicle Code (LSUVC) rules and regulations are designed to aid the flow of traffic, provide the maximum parking possible, and to make the streets safe for everyone.

Parking Permits
All residence hall students must have a parking permit from the Security Office, including a quarter sticker and current assigned lot sticker which is to be displayed on the parking decal. The lot sticker will be given to you by your Residential Dean or secretary. Students must park only in the lot assigned to their residence hall.

Temporary parking permits for special circumstances may be obtained at the Security office. A temporary parking permit can be purchased for $1.00 a day or $5.00 a week.

See Traffic and Parking Policies for further information.

Insurance of Personal Property
The University does not assume liability directly or indirectly for loss or damage to personal property by fire, theft, water, or any other cause. The University is not responsible for personal property left behind by students subsequent to the date of their withdrawal, transfer, departure, suspension, or dismissal from any room in University housing. Please see your Dean and/or RA for information about Student Theft Insurance. You may purchase insurance to cover your personal belongings in your dorm room for a reasonable rate through an outside organization. For more information and/or brochures contact you're Residence Hall Dean.

Right of Entry
The University respects the right to privacy of individuals. However, authorized University personnel have the right to enter the premises occupied by residents for the purpose of emergency, health, safety, maintenance, management of applicable rules and regulations, or for any reasonable cause. The University shall exercise these rights reasonably and with respect for the resident's right to be free from unreasonable searches and intrusions into study or privacy. Room inspections for or to make necessary repairs to rooms and room equipment may occur.

In addition, where vacancies exist in a room, such vacancies may be shown to prospective occupants when accompanied by a member of the Residential Life office staff. Insofar as possible, advance notification will be given. In all cases, authorized personnel will identify themselves as university personnel. In all cases, if entry is made when the resident is not in the room, notification of the entry will be left in the room.
