Security

All residence halls maintain a security system with 24-hour desk coverage. All residents and guests must present valid photo ID in order to gain access into the facility.

All student mail, including letters, periodicals, and packages, is distributed by Mail Services, located on the first floor of Altschul Hall. It is essential that all mail sent to you be addressed as follows:

Your Name
