Tips for Students

Just 2 it!  Don't walk or jog alone on campus at night.  UWF parking lots are isolated and many areas are poorly lit.  Stay aware of your surroundings and walk with confidence.  Go to and from class with others.  If you are left alone, call the 24 hour campus escort service atl 474-2415. There is real safety in numbers, so let this be your first rule.

Some Tips for Outside:
        Have your keys ready when you reach your door or car.
        Park is well-lit areas and always lock your car.
        Drive on well-traveled streets; lock your doors and windows.
        Keep your car in good shape with plenty of gas in the tank.
        Don't pick up hitchhikers.
 
Some Safe Inside Habits:
        Don't prop open doors; and check locks when leaving your room.
        Watch for unwanted visitors and be wary of strangers.
        Control your keys; don't label them with your name or address.
        Be careful in common spaces like laundry rooms, the library stacks, or locker rooms.

For Your Privacy:  Students should know that the address and telephone information provided on your Florida SUS application will automatically be listed in the student directory unless you specifically request that the information not be included.  Forms for such a request are available in the Office of the Registrar.  The complete policy is printed in the UWF catalog under the section titled "Confidentiality of Student Records, sections C & D."
