Parking lots are an easy target for thieves looking for a “quick score.” Vehicles parked in parking lots are targeted when valuables are left in plain sight, and in instances where thieves have had prior success with break-ins and vandalization. Alert motorists can make a proactive contribution to ensure a safe parking lot and reduce the likelihood of incident.

Before you park

• Find a parking space you feelomfortable parking in.

• Park in a well-lit area. Avoid parking in a secluded area.

• Remove all valuables from sight. “Out of sight out of mind, if they can’t see it, they can’t steal it”

When you park

• Always lock your car and roll up the windows.

• Never hide a spare key in or around your vehicle.

• Remember your specific parking location. Carefully note the aisle numbers and/or letters.

• Never leave your car engine running or with the keys in the ignition, even if you are only gone for a moment.

• Be aware of everything and everyone around you.

• If you notice a stranger or suspicious person loitering in or around the parking lot, immediately notify security or the police.

After you park

• Walk with purpose and confidence.

• Keep your keys in hand as you walk to your vehicle.

• Working late? Request for a security escort to your vehicle or walk with a group or coworkers.

• Upon return to your parking location, inspect the exterior and interior of the vehicle before getting inside.

• If you have a flat tire, immediately return to the building and ask for help.

• Never open your vehicle door or window to accept help from a stranger.

• When you get into your vehicle, immediately lock your doors (before buckling your seatbelt) and turn on your headlights.

• If a suspicious person approaches your car, honkyour car horn.

• If you sense someone may be following you, switch directions or cross the street. If this does not deter the stranger, immediately proceed to an open store, restaurant or lighted house.

• Never be afraid to call or shout for help.

Free Tutoring for Writing, Math, and Statistics!

The Academic Resource Center—next to Admissions in room 109—is open five days a week. The Center provides students with one-on-one help with assignments and is open Tuesday through Thursday plus Saturday and Sunday.

Here’s what the Center offers:

45 minutes of one-on-one writing help: APA format, citations, grammar, and style
Help with SPSS, statistics, and research assignments
Help with math assignments
Helpful handouts with invaluable writing tips
Help with making a PC or laptop APA friendly
Help with navigating blended courses

* * *
Students should not wait until the last minute to bring an assignment to the Center, and what the student brings does not have to be polished work. It’s better to bring a few pages of a work in progress than to bring a complete paper that is too close to the due date for the Center associates to work with.

Check out the Center Schedule on the Student Services blog or
displayed on the digital hall monitors.
