Residence Life & Housing is committed to providing Suffolk students with a safe and secure environment where they can pursue their studies while learning about themselves and others in the community. Security in the residence halls is provided in a number of ways, but it is important that all students be aware of their environment and make good decisions about their own safety and that of their neighbors. All exterior doors of the residence halls are locked 24 hours a day. However, students should consider the door to their room to be like the door to an apartment if they lived off-campus and keep it locked at all times, especially when they are not in their room.

Missing Residence Students
Students should immediately inform Suffolk University Police at 617 573.1111 or a Residence Life & Housing staff member if they believe another student may be missing.

Fire Safety
Students are expected to notify Suffolk University Police and/or a member of the Residence Life & Housing staff of any fire and safety hazards and to report a fire promptly. All students are expected to observe all fire safety procedures established for the University, including participation in fire alarm/evacuation drills. Students must leave designated areas during a fire drill or be subject to disciplinary action. Fire extinguishers and alarm systems shall not be tampered with or tested by unauthorized persons. Fire extinguishers should only be used in emergency situations. Students are expected to help prevent false alarms and should report any tampering with fire safety equipment to the appropriate staff person.

Medical/Psychological Emergencies
In the event of a medical or psychological emergency, students should contact Suffolk University Police at 617.573.8111 immediately.
