UNLV is committed to maintaining high safety and security standards in the residence halls and throughout the campus. Residents share responsibility for maintaining a safe and secure environment.

Keep yourself safe by….

• Identifying the nearest emergency telephone on campus. These phones ring directly to University Police and will automatically register your location. (Insert image of emergency telephone)
• Keeping your room door locked at all times.
• Being aware of your surroundings. If you notice unusual events and/or suspicious persons, report them to your hall staff, Campus Housing staff and/or University Police (895-3668). If it’s an emergency, dial 911.
• Using your card key to enter the buildings. Don’t let anyone in without a card key unless they are authorized to enter.
• Holding onto your ID card and keys. Do not lend them to anyone. If you lose them, report it to your hall office immediately.
• Keeping doors closed. Propping doors open allows unauthorized access and undermines the secure campus living environment.
• Cleaning your room regularly to avoid fire hazards, bug and rodent infestation, food spoilage and odors.
• Only using authorized refrigerators and microwave ovens. Hot air popcorn poppers and coffee pots with enclosed elements are also allowed.
• Using and storing only authorized items in your room. A list of unauthorized items/materials is available on the packing list.
• Locking up your bicycle outside (storing them inside is a tripping hazard)
• Sleeping in your room, not the floor lounges (unless it is a hall-sponsored event).
• Not tampering with safety equipment and/or fire alarms and extinguishers.
• Being aware of Fire Alarm and Emergency Procedures.

Keep your stuff secure by….

• Engraving your Rebel "L" number on expensive electronic equipment.
• Staying in the laundry when washing and drying your clothes.
• Keeping large sums of money in the bank and expensive jewelry at home.
• Locking your car at all times and removing valuables from sight.

Prevent fires by…

• Keeping posters, banners and other decorations off of the ceiling and away from the fire sprinkler heads.
• Delivering your recyclables to designated Rebel Recycling drop-off locations instead of storing them in your room.
• Following all emergency evacuation procedures or drills.
• Reporting any unauthorized use, tampering or damage to emergency or safety equipment.
• Using only one electrical device per outlet (no octopus plugs).
• Using electrical extension cords less than 10 feet in length unless it’s an extension bar with a circuit breaker.
