Security of Student Artwork and Personal EffectsAlways ensure that your valuables are adequately protected and remember this if you have to leave your work studio, classroom or study space unattended, even for a few minutes.  Always ensure that the area or work is properly secured in your locker or secure studio area, and that your property is protected. Never leave doors propped open even for a short period of time.  More than 80 percent of thefts occur when property is left unattended in an open area. Items such as backpacks, purses, laptops, Ipods and cameras should never be left unattended. The University is not responsible for theft or loss of personal or borrowed items.   Please also note the importance of using the buddy system when working on campus outside of class time.  In addition, immediately report any suspicious person(s) to Security services.
