Campus Safety
DID
YOU
KNOW
that
campus is
continuously
monitored
by 250 CCTV
cameras?
Security is the right balance between
physical security and behavioural
awareness. On campus most crime still
tends to be opportunistic. I would like to
urge you to keep your eyes peeled and
be vigilant. Carry your student cards at
all times; try to avoid walking around at
night by yourself; and be aware of your
surroundings. Never be afraid to call on
a Campus Protection Services official
for help – that’s what we are here for.

In the event of sexual assault
Contrary to popular belief, most rapes occur between people
who know each other. If you are sexually assaulted, get yourself
to a safe place and tell someone you trust what happened to
you. Rape is a crime and should ideally be reported to the police.
It’s also important to seek follow-up medical attention as soon
as possible, especially to prevent HIV infection.
