Campus Safety Tips

We have one of the most beautiful campuses in America. Louisburg College is a very safe campus with property theft as one of our most reported crimes. Here are some steps to help you stay safe on campus or anywhere you are.

  • Use a u-lock style bike lock looped through the front tire and around your frame.
  • Be aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious activity to Campus Safety.
  • Register your bike through the Office of Campus Safety.
  • Never leave your valuables out in the open instead, place them in a secure area to avoid crimes of opportunity.
  • Register your electronic devices through the college’s Operation I.D. database.
  • Always use the buddy system.
  • Be an effective bystander. Do not ignore situations that seem problematic or indicate that someone is trying to take advantage of a vulnerable person.
  • When walking, get your head out of your phone and be aware of your surroundings.
  • Walk with a partner in well-lit areas at night.
  • Close and lock your doors and windows especially ground level windows of the residence hall room, while you are asleep to help prevent burglaries and assaults.
  • Avoid social events where illegal alcohol and controlled substances are present.
  • All residence hall students should be conscientious about any strangers trying to enter buildings without an escort or "tailgating," entering residence halls with a group of students.
  • Doors leading to living areas in residence halls remain locked 24 hours a day, and a hall resident must escort visitors in and out.  Do not prop open doors or leave rooms unlocked.
