If you are not driving home for Christmas break and need to leave your car on campus, here are a few things you need to know:

• Any vehicle left on campus during Christmas break is left at your own risk should anything happen to it!
• It is highly suggested that you leave your keys with Security in case your vehicle needs to be moved. If Security doesn’t have a key, your vehicle will be towed at your own expense.
• Empty your vehicle of ALL items and lock it!
• Park it next to other vehicles in the lot or ask Security where to leave it.

Please call Security at 503-554-2090 if you have further questions.

Students, with the rainy weather that is now upon us, if you are not using your bicycle, please take it home at Christmas break! If that is not possible, please store it in your room over break to avoid the possibility of theft.

Please call Security at 503-554-2090 if you have further questions.
