Although
many precautions are taken to maintain adequate security for you and your
guests, you should not discount your role in security. Security must begin with
YOU. You should be careful not to allow non-residents to follow you into your
hall or house. You should remember to lock your room/apartment door whenever
you are away from your room/apartment, even if for a minute. The College cannot
be held responsible for articles that become lost, misplaced, stolen, damaged,
or abandoned. The College and/or Residence Life Office assume no responsibility
for loss or damage to personal property for any reason. The College and its
insurance carrier do not assume responsibility for the loss or damage to
articles and personal property that occurs in its buildings or on its grounds.
Residents should seek coverage for their personal belongings through their
parents’ or guardians’ homeowner’s policy or individual coverage from a company
that offers this type of insurance.
