Campus Safety

Your safety is extremely important

The safety of our students is a top priority for our university, but campus crime is, unfortunately, inevitable. This page includes Graceland’s reports provided to the federal government in accordance with the Clery Act, as well as some helpful information for students seeking other information on campus safety and security.

Personal Safety Recommendations:
Do not walk alone during the hours of darkness.

• If you must walk alone, inform someone at your destination when to expect you.  Utilize an escort offered by After-Hours Assistance during the hours of darkness.
• If you are attacked, do anything to bring public attention to your situation:  scream, bite, kick and stomp the attacker’s foot with your heel.  Keep items of value out of sight.
• Safeguard documents containing personal information others could use to commit identity theft.
• Lock your residence hall door when you are asleep or when the room is not occupied.
• Report suspicious activity promptly.
• Never prop open residence hall exterior doors.
• Never loan your access/ID card to others.
• Mark items of value with an identifying number or symbol.  Record serial numbers.  Photograph items of value.  Never use your social security number as an identifying number.
• Register your bicycle and lock it to a campus bike rack or keep it in your room when not in use.
