When you get to campus, there will be review of safety tips for college students. You will be hearing a lot about your physical security on campus and ALWAYS heed the advice of security experts at your college.
- Always be aware of yourself in your surroundings.
- Never intentionally put yourself in a situation where you are alone, especially at night.
- Use your campus security escort services or walk with friends on campus.
Also be SURE to protect your digital identity. This includes:
- your user names,
- passwords,
- and all your external memory drives [including thumb drives].
Identification theft is prevalent and awareness is your first defense.
Lastly,
colleges now have personal identification numbers which are usually based upon the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number. Once on campus, you should only be using your College Identification Number. NEVER GIVE YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER TO ANYONE.
