Campus Safety Tips

Washtenaw Community College works to be a safe college campus. In an effort to be proactive in creating awareness, the Campus Safety Department will be providing a series of Campus Safety Tips for students, faculty, and staff. It should be noted that these tips apply to any public place including: shopping malls, special events, and even to places of worship.

General Safety Guidelines:

  • Stay alert and be aware of your surroundings
  • Avoid isolated areas
  • Try to avoid walking alone at night. Walk with friends when possible
  • Call Campus Safety (734) 973-3411 or 3411 from one of college house phones for an escort if needed
  • Notify Campus Safety immediately of suspicious or criminal activity
  • If an emergency arises – a serious health issue, a crime, or any situation in which you feel endangered, contact Campus Safety. There are phones located in all buildings across campus, as well as in several key areas outside

If Walking Alone:

  • Keep your mind on your surroundings, who’s in front of you and who’s behind you. Don’t get distracted
  • Walk purposefully, stand tall, and make eye contact with people around you
  • TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. If you feel uncomfortable in a situation, leave
