UTS is a great place to study, work and play but it’s important to consider your safety on campus.
Top tips for staying safe on campus
- Be alert, assertive and confident.
- Walk with other people rather than by yourself if you can.
- Carry only the money you need for the day.
- Keep your money and wallet in your front pocket if you have one and keep your bag closed and in front of you.
- Be aware of your surroundings, and don’t let your mobile phone or device distract you while walking.
- At night, stay in well-lit areas where there are plenty of people.
- If you think someone is following or threatening you, cross the street, change direction, vary your pace, enter a shop or ask for help at an occupied home.
- While on campus, keep an eye on valuables such as your wallet and phone.
- Lock your vehicle, and park in well-lit and well-used areas.
- Use a security escort if needed.
