Graduate and Family Housing Safety and Security
General Safety
To maintain your home security, keep your BuffOne Card on you at all times and do not mark your apartment number or address on your BuffOne Card. If you lose your BuffOne Card, alert the BuffOne Card Office immediately for a replacement. To collect a temporary access card to your apartment, please contact to Graduate & Family Housing Office right away or the Apartment Advisor After-Hours for assistance.
Community Awareness
Community awareness and prevention are additional lines of security available to you.
- Report suspicious behavior/people to CUPD at 303-492-6666 or 911 for emergencies
- Do not leave personal items, etc. in public areas and lock bikes to provided racks
- Park your car in a well-lit area and do not leave anything of value within view
Fire Safety
Fire is a danger to all residents, and everyone must be aware of prevention efforts and prohibited items and practices. We ask you to carefully review the safety section of the Graduate & Family Housing Handbook to become familiar with these so you can partner with us in keeping the community safe. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Graduate & Family Housing Office at 303-492-6384.
Fire Sprinkler System
To ensure proper and worry-free operation of your fire sprinkler system, exercise awareness and caution around sprinkler equipment. It should be free of any obstructions as it could be damaged and/or activated. Damaging a sprinkler head can lead to accidental activation which causes water to be released into your apartment.
Evacuation
There is the possibility of floods, tornadoes, severe windstorms and/or other emergencies that may require evacuation. We have set up a comprehensive guide, located in your move-in folder, to help you in case of an emergency and ask that you read through it and become familiar with it.
