Safety & Security is a shared responsibility.
Your personal safety and the security of your property while on campus are shared responsibilities. Ringling College of Art and Design has made safety and security a priority through our commitment to a full-time, professional security department, security escorts, lighting, CCTV, emergency telephones and ongoing educational safety awareness programs.
The vast majority of crimes occurring on college campuses are crimes of opportunity that can be prevented. You can help by taking away the opportunity. We have prepared these safety tips to help reduce the opportunity for you to become a victim of crime.
Always Remember...
- Prepare yourself physically and mentally for any emergency.
- If you have been personally threatened or if you have heard anyone at school mention the idea of committing acts of violence, take it seriously. Inform Public Safety or other campus officials.
- Never leave your laptop computer, textbook, phone, book bag, purse or other valuables unattended or out of your sight in dining areas, the library, common study areas or outdoor spaces.
- Avoid isolated corridors, hallways, stairwells and restrooms.
- Report anyone who behaves suspiciously to Public Safety. Take note of the suspicious person's appearance and relay it to the dispatcher.
Keep emergency numbers in your phone, whether you live on campus or off. If off campus, call 941-359-7500.
Operation Identification
Operation Identification at Ringling college, the national program of engraving serial numbers or owner recognized numbers on computers, bicycles and other valuable items, is coordinated by the Office of Public Safety. Engravers are made available to members of the campus community free of charge. Come by our office in the Kimbrough Building to borrow an engraver.
