Private Property Care

The University cannot accept responsibility for damage, theft or loss of monies, valuables, or personal property. The protection of personal property is the individual's responsibility. You are encouraged to obtain insurance on property and possessions brought into the residence halls. Serial numbers on such articles such as stereos, laptops, iPods, iPads, or other electronics should be recorded. To guard against such loss, it is advisable to make special arrangements for the protection of valuables when absent for extended periods. Doors should be locked when you leave the room. Do not leave clothes unattended in the laundry rooms or bathrooms. Books, backpacks, and other personal items should not be left unattended in meeting rooms, libraries, or dining areas. Report any theft to Campus Safety as soon as possible.

Safety

Chicago is a beautiful and active city. Please consider the following precautions while out and about the city:

Residence Halls: Every attempt is made to provide secure buildings. Residents and guests must show identification before entering a building. Looking-glass peep-holes are in each door of every room in the halls. The security programs in the University residence halls are designed to provide protection for residents and their personal property. The success of these programs depends upon the degree to which each guest accepts responsibility for his or her own behavior and recognizes a concern for the safety and welfare of others. If an outside door is propped open, a key is loaned to someone, or a lock on a door is tampered with, the personal safety and property of others are at risk.

Walking: Always travel in groups on well-lit, well populated streets. Avoid alleyways and dark streets. Remain alert to your surroundings. Don't walk alone at night!

Running: Run against traffic, on sidewalks if available. Run with a friend and leave information concerning your route and anticipated time of return with a friend or at the At Your Service Desk. Run in well-lit, populated areas.

Car: Never leave valuables in plain sight inside vehicle. Before getting into your vehicle, give it a visual check. Look under vehicle during approach. Always maintain 1/4 of a tank of gas in your car.

Smoking

No smoking is allowed in any residence hall (including private rooms) or meeting rooms. Please be aware of the Chicago Clean Indoor Air Ordinance, a measure passed by the Chicago City Council, effective January 16, 2006 where smoking is prohibited within 15 feet of every (Loyola University) building entrance, including building canopies and coverings.

Telephones

We do not offer pay phones throughout the campus. If you would like to make a call here are some helpful tips to aid in making your call.

• On-Campus call: Dial the last 5 digits of the campus phone number. Ex: 8-8090
• Off-Campus call: For local calls, please dial 9 + the number. Long distance call will need to be made with an 800 number calling card.
