5 Safety Tips for College Students |
|
1. Make the call: Add the number of USI Public Safety in your cell phone (812-492-7777). If you see a crime in progress, suspicious behavior or any emergency, do not hesitate--make the call.
2. Do not walk alone: Take advantage of the University’s Campus Escort Program or walk with friends or classmates, especially at night. Contact USI Public Safety for escort services: call 812-464-1845 or use a blue emergency phone.
3. Protect your property: Never leave items unattended (backpack, laptop, cell phone), even if it is just for a minute. Make sure to lock doors and take valuables with you, especially during any holiday break.
4. Report solicitors: Solicitation on campus is prohibited! Avoid solicitor scams by politely saying "no" and immediately notifying USI Public Safety at 812-492-7777. Never provide solicitors with your personal information.
5. Always carry identification and emergency contact information: Carry an emergency notification card. Program emergency notification numbers on your phone.

Parking Permits and Registering a Vehicle
Housing residents must register their vehicles. Students who complete the parking registration before their move in date will be able to pick up a packet at Housing check-in that will include the parking permit decal, decal placement instructions and other important information.
Commuter students are encouraged to register their vehicles but do not need a parking permit to park on campus. Commuter students may park in any University lot that does not require a parking permit or that is marked restricted. Most lots in the main part of campus are available for commuter students. Look for signs listing restrictions before parking. In housing locations, use the visitor parking spots.
USI Parking department promotes pedestrian, cyclist and motorist safety while expediting the efficient traffic flow on University roadways and in parking lots.

Screagle in the Spotlight - Marcus Robinson |
|
Hey everyone! This is my first year as an Orientation Leader. Outside of Orientation Leader, I became involved with Emerging Leaders, where I learned leadership skills along with communication. From there, I got involved with Student Ambassadors (campus tour guides) and will be a Resident Assitant this coming school year. I am also a part of the Riley Dance Marathon Executive Committee. Aside from school, I love spending time with friends and family, being active, traveling, and doing anything outdoors. I can't wait to see all of you grow here at USI in the near future, Go Screagles! |
