Safety Tips for Returning Students
All universities face security problems. We at SGA, along with La Salle Security, offer these tips to you. By executing these simple tips, you make yourself less vulnerable to assault, injury, etc. If you do happen to be assaulted/robbed/injured, call Security at 215 951 2111 , or use a "Blue Light Pole" to request assistance from a Security Guard. Remember, Police and Security are on campus for our protection.
- Use campus parking lots, avoid parking in neighborhood.
- Travel with others/groups. Be aware of surroundings.
- Travel in well-lit areas and on main thoroughfares. Avoid driveways & dangerous shortcuts.
- Use shuttles when possible. 120,000 riders used our shuttle last year. All arrived safely at their destinations.
- Use escorts when shuttle not available.
- Moderate use of alcohol. Don’t make yourself a more vulnerable and attractive target.
- Report suspicious persons to Security and Police.
