Suggested Procedure for Handling Equipment by Students

Overview

The following is a list of suggested security steps for student's personal equipment..

Always keep your doors and windows locked when you leave equipment in your room. (This includes computers, iPads and smartphones)
Lock your door when you shower or are asleep.
If you live on the ground floor make sure your window is shut before going to sleep.
Keep your cell phone, iPad, laptop and other easy to steal items out of sight (in a dresser or desk) when not in use.
Use a UV pen or identification tag to mark your equipment.
If you have an expensive television or monitor with a spare VGA socket consider getting a security cable to help secure the equipment. Laptop cables are also available.
Don't let Facebook or other programs remember your password.
Don't share your password with anyone.
Be aware of your surroundings. Pay attention when signing on to your accounts. Don't sit where others can see your laptop screen through a window, mirror, etc.
If you have a wireless router on WiFi enabled equipment please password protect them.
