UCO HOUSING–THE PL ACE TO BE

YOUR GUIDE TO CAMPUS LIVING


W el c o me hom e !

We know that making the move to campus is a big decision in the life of an undergraduate for both the student and their family. We are committed to helping you make a smooth transition to campus and have a successful year at the University of Central Oklahoma. Did you know that, on average, resident students on our campus will succeed at a higher rate than students who live off campus? Residents experience higher graduation rates, higher GPA’s and higher engagement levels than many populations that make up a university community. Your decision to live on campus connects you to an inclusive community designed with your success in mind. Our staff has spent the summer preparing for your arrival and our goal is to provide you with a clean, safe, convenient and supportive home away from home. I hope your school year is positive and you take advantage of the opportunity-rich environment we’ve created for you. Your future friends and confidants are walking the halls around you. Find them and connect with each other to strengthen your bond with the Broncho family. I wish you success in all that you endeavor this year.

Patti Neuhold-Ravikumar UCO President

THE TPS MISSION • Distribute parking permits • Maintain parking lots and regulations • Manage the parking facilities on campus • Ensure safe and ready access to campus • Provide low-cost/free programs to the UCO community

PAR K I NG ON CAMPUS TPS sells and distributes parking permits to all UCO students, faculty, and staff. All vehicles parked on the campus are required to have a valid UCO parking permit correctly displayed in the windshield.

helps them burn calories during the walk to class. Information on estimated calories burned and walking time from outer lots can be found on the Transportation and Parking website at:

ww w. uc o. edu/ pa rk i ng

For students without personal vehicles or who prefer not to drive, TPS has partnered with the City of Edmond to provide free bus services throughout the city. The BronchoLink (Route 4) services nearby apartments and circles UCO every 30 minutes from 7 A.M. to 6 P.M. Monday through Friday. Pick up a map at the TPS office or go to:

ww w. c i ty l i nk edmond. c o m

Annual permits are designed to be easily moved from vehicle to vehicle. Drivers who forget to move their permit to the car they drove to campus can pick up a temporary parking permit from the TPS office and place it on the dashboard of their vehicle. Annual permit holders qualify for 10 free temporary permits per academic year. If a permit is lost or stolen, there is a $25 replacement fee. If a permit is lost due to a stolen vehicle, drivers can bring a copy of the police report to the TPS office and receive a new permit for only a $5 replacement charge. Permits that have been damaged or will no longer adhere to the window can be exchanged at the TPS office for free. For visitors to campus without annual permits, there are multiple pay lots across campus for convenient access to all campus buildings. Frequent visitors to campus are encouraged to download the Passport Parking app for ease of payment.

ALTERN ATIVE TRAN S PORTATI ON PROGRAMS

CEN TRAL CY CL E P ROG R A M S The Bum-A-Bike program by TPS allows students to check out bikes free of charge for up to two weeks at a time. This provides students a great way to navigate campus and the surrounding communities, get some exercise, and improve their health. Bicycle keys can be checked out during regular business hours from the TPS office. Bicycle racks are located across campus and should be used for securing bicycles. Bicycles secured to trees, light poles, stairs or railings risk removal. Students with bikes can register for a free bicycle permit online via the TPS website. These permits identify ownership, which allows TPS staff and police to better assist in the case of a lost or stolen bicycle.

TPS offers a number of programs to give the UCO community other options than driving vehicles to campus. All of these services are free to members of the campus community.

If your bike needs repair, there are five free bicycle repair stations on campus. These stations feature multiple tools and an air pump to aid cyclists in their ability to keep their bicycles in working condition. These stations are located at The Wellness Center, Nigh, West Hall, The Quad, and in the Suites and Commons Courtyard.

To encourage healthy living, TPS provides the Park & Pace Program, a wellness initiative encouraging individuals to park in the outer parking lots and walk into campus. This initiative cuts down the time drivers spend circling lots closer to campus buildings and

For information about these programs or the TPS rules and regulations, students can contact TPS Monday through Friday from 8 A.M. - 5 P.M. at 405-974-2780 or via email at parking@uco.edu.

THE HOUSING HANDBOOK LIVING IN A COMMUNITY R ESID E NTIAL S TU D E NT RIGHTS AN D R ESPO NSIBILITIES

Within the community environment of a residence hall, certain guidelines are necessary to help ensure the rights of every individual. To a large extent, the protection of those individual and group rights is up to the student/resident. Each resident has the responsibility as a citizen in the residence hall community to stand up for his or her own rights. Rights such as privacy, rest, cleanliness, a safe environment, and a positive academic learning environment are important to the UCO Housing department. Residents must work with the Housing Staff, as well as with peers, to protect those rights by following the policies and procedures. Residents have the right… 1) To have free access to their living accommodations. 2) To live in a clean and secure environment. 3) To expect a regionally competitive price on housing accommodations and/or food service. 4) To have access to written copies of University housing rules and regulations or individual building policies that govern individual and group behavior. 5) To the respect and safety of personal property. 6) To study without interruption or interference. 7) To be free from unreasonable noise. 8) To be free of intimidation or harassment. 9) To express themselves creatively within Housing guidelines. 10) To expect enforcement of the Housing Agreement/Contract. 11) To have direct access to staff who provide assistance, guidance, and support as needed. 12) To host guests, within established guidelines. 13) To equitable treatment when behavior is in question. 14) To enjoy individual freedoms without regard to race, sex, national origin, handicap, age, religion, sexual orientation, or political affiliation. 15) To participate in student governmental bodies and Housing committees. 16) To individual and group educational and developmental opportunities in their living community. Residents have the responsibility… 1) To know and adhere to rules and regulations of the University and Housing. 2) To abide by all local, state, and federal laws and ordinances. 3) To comply with reasonable requests made by staff or University officials. 4) To meet expected room and meal plan payment schedules. 5) To uphold building security. 6) To monitor and accept responsibility for the behavior of guests. 7) To report violations of rules and regulations to appropriate staff. 8) To respect the rights of others, as stated above. 9) To search for solutions to problems. Start with your Resident Assistant, and then, if necessary, bring residence hall problems to the

attention of your Hall Director. 10) To participate actively in self-governance. 11) To participate in Housing committees as requested. 12) To express themselves individually or by association with groups. 13) To participate in conduct proceedings to determine appropriate standards of behavior. 14) To contribute positively to the community by participating in educational and developmental activities.

THE ROOMMATE EXPERIENCE

Time spent at UCO will be filled with many new experiences and memories. For most, simply sharing a room may be a new experience. Roommate relationships are the foundations for community development. It is not necessary to be best friends or share every aspect of college life together, but we do expect you to be reasonable, honest, and considerate of one another. Everyone needs to take responsibility for his or her behavior and share the responsibility for a positive roommate relationship. Developing a positive relationship is a process that takes some effort, whether you are old friends or new acquaintances. The easiest way to get to know your roommate is to ask questions that will help you learn about each other and build on your similarities. We encourage you to discuss topics that will open the door to a greater understanding of each other. Personal: • Where are you from? • What is your family like? • What are your favorite things to do? • What is your major? • What are you looking forward to this semester? • What do you need when you are stressed? • What is your favorite movie? • What kind of music do you like? Cleaning: • How neat and clean are you used to keeping your room/apartment? • How will housekeeping duties be shared? • How would you like the room/apartment arranged and decorated? Borrowing: • Will you share food and drink costs? • Do you mind if guests use items in the room/apartment? • Do you prefer to be asked before someone borrows something? Study Time: • What time do you typically study? • Can you study with the TV or radio on? With visitors in the room? Sleeping: • What time do you typically go to bed or get up in the morning? • Are you a heavy or light sleeper? • Can you sleep with the TV or radio on? With visitors in the room?

#LIVECENTRAL

The idea is to open the lines of communication. Most roommate conflicts are due to poor communication. Residents should be aware of the assumptions and generalizations they make about one another. Generalizations are often made, as they are necessary in order to approach new situations. When generalizations become fixed or rigid despite new evidence to the contrary, they become stereotypes. Acting on stereotypes often breaks down communication and sets up barriers between roommates.

T HE R O O MMATE A GR E E M EN T

Establishing a roommate agreement will help you and your roommate set ground rules to start off on the right foot towards an enjoyable roommate experience. Though the content of the agreement may change throughout the year, remember the framework for the discussions. Situations should be addressed when they arise throughout the year. Roommates should set a meeting time during the first week of living together with enough time to address all of the areas of the Roommate Agreement. Roommates should work together to determine the content of the agreement and negotiate and compromise on each item as necessary. Roommates should take turns responding to each item on the agreement before going on to the next one. Submit the completed roommate agreement to your Resident Assistant by the end of the first week of classes. Speak to your Resident Assistant if you have any questions, concerns or issues arise at any point of the process.

REN EGOTIATIN G

It will not be uncommon for some preferences to change while living on campus. It is also very possible that one or both of the roommates will not live up to the agreement. Roommates may choose to renegotiate the roommate agreement. Be sure to utilize the same tips as in your original negotiations. In addition, roommates should avoid blaming and accusing when renegotiating the agreement. If a solution cannot be reached by the roommates, the next step is to ask a Housing staff member for help or mediation. UCO Housing Staff have all been trained to serve as impartial mediators. A room change should only be contemplated after all other methods of resolving conflict have been attempted.

RESIDENTIAL HEALTH AND SAFETY S TU D E NT SAFETY

The safety and well-being of all residents are a primary priority of Housing & Residential Engagement. Processes and partnerships are in place to support this priority, and we encourage residents to take an active role in maintaining the safety of the halls through vigilance and adherence to established protocols.

I NJU RY R EPORTIN G

Residents suffering minor inuries should report to the OU Physicians Health Clinic (located in the Wellness Center) to avoid any complications that may arise.

In the case of a life-threatening emergency or injury, dial 9-1-1 to reach emergency personnel. In addition, residents should notify a Housing staff member or UCOPD, (405) 974-2345, as soon as possible. Residents may dial 9-1-1 or (405) 974-2345 to reach UCO Police during and after normal work hours. UCOPD will arrange for transport of persons to an appropriate medical facility. Any unsafe condition(s) that has contributed to an injury or may contribute to a potential injury should be reported to the staff as soon as possible so that the situation can be resolved. If a visitor is injured, contact UCOPD immediately at (405) 974-2345 or 9-1-1.

EX TERI OR D OORS

The exterior entry/exit doors to University Suites, West Hall, Murdaugh Hall, and The Quad are locked twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days per week. Electronic card swipes are enabled with access granted to residents of that building via their university identification card. The purpose of maintaining locked exterior doors is for the safety and protection of the residents, not to serve as an inconvenience. Residents should not endanger the security of the residents in the building by propping outside doors open or letting strangers or non-residents in. Residents’ cooperation in keeping these doors locked and closed is expected.

RESI D EN T ROOM S

Security of individual rooms is the responsibility of the residents who live there. Residents are urged to keep their rooms locked and carry their keys at all times. Residents should never leave their key in their room door. The University cannot be responsible for any damage or loss of personal property for any cause. It is recommended strongly that residents carry their own personal property insurance, such as renter’s insurance. Theft or vandalism should be reported to the staff immediately. Loss of a room key should be reported to the Housing front desk IMMEDIATELY.

K EY S AN D L OCK OUTS

Residents are responsible for their room/apartment keys. In the event of a lost key, a temporary key may be issued to a resident for a period of three (3) business days. If the key is not returned by the end of this period or should a resident not find their original key, Housing will changet the core(s) of the door or cut a new key for the resident. This may incure a core change fee of $75 per core($125 in the University Commons). Residents are restricted from copying their key for any reason. Identification and residency verification are required before a temp key will be issued or any steps are taken to replace a core. Should a resident become locked out of their room. they can contact the Housing Front Desk or the RA On-Call for assistance. The resident will be required to present identification to verify that he or she is the current occupant of the room and to present his or her key upon entrance. If the resident is not able to present the key due to loss, a new key and core will be ordered and the resident will be charged a core change fee. It is necessary to replace both the key and the core for the residents’ safety and protection.

P ERSON AL B EL ON G I N G S

It is the responsibility of the resident to mark their personal property. The University cannot be responsible for any damage or loss of personal property due to any cause( i.e. fire, facility failure, severe weather, or theft) In addition, students are not insured by the University for injuries suffered in classes, during intramural activities, on campus, or in and

about the Housing facilities, unless the University has been found negligent in some manner. All students are encouraged to carry their own life, health, and personal property insurance (i.e. renter’s insurance.)

R OO M E NTRY

The University reserves the right to enter your room at any time for the purpose of inspections, safety concerns, maintenance and repairs, routine pest control, or for other circumstances deemed necessary for an institutional-purpose search. • To turn off an alarm, stereo, television, or other item that has been left unattended and is causing a disturbance. • Environmental Wellness Checks • Preventative and routine maintenance and safety inspections • Noticed and requested repairs • Routine or requested pest control • When a resident vacates a room for a break period for routine maintenance and safety inspections, noticed and requested repairs, or routine or requested pest control. • When a resident permanently vacates a room. • To inspect and prepare a vacated living space for a new occupant. • For an emergency situation, regarding the endangerment of the health and well-being of residents and/or guests. • If there is reason to believe a University or Housing policy is being violated. • UCO or local Police, with a warrant from a court.

P RE V E NTATIVE M A INT E N AN CE

EN V I RON M EN TAL W EL L N ESS CH ECK S

Environmental Wellness Checks are conducted periodically throughout each semester to ensure that the room/suite/apartment is in a safe condition and for general cleanliness. In most cases, notice is posted at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance. In preparation for Environmental Wellness Checks, residents should clean their entire room/ apartment, including common areas and bathrooms, and take out their trash. Unsanitary conditions and policy violations noticed in rooms, apartments, and/or common areas will be documented and disciplinary action will be taken. For unsanitary conditions, the resident will have three (3) days to remedy the situation. Prohibited items, including, but not limited to candles, sterno, and prohibited appliances will need to be removed from campus immediately.Upon follow-up by a staff member, if the items are not removed or the conditions have not improved, then the responsible resident(s) may face disciplinary action and/or a fine.

P EST CON TROL

UCO Housing & Residential Engagement’s Maintenance Team provides scheduled pest control monthly throughout each semester, as well as during the Summer, at no cost to the residents. Residents will be notified in advance of exact dates so that arrangements can be made to have all areas easily accessible, and so that any Service Animals or Emotional Support Animals can be confined. The chemicals we use are non-toxic and are not harmful to animals.

The Housing Maintenance Team is one of the highest rated parts about campus housing. This team ensures that all buildings are safe and healthy for residents during their time in them, and are committed to providing updated, clean, and secure places to live for all. In the event of a requsted work order, residents are encouraged to allow a reasonable amount of response time for repairs, but also let staff know if their problem does not get fixed. This requires periodic entry into the residents room by Residence Life and Maintenance Staff to inspect and treat the space for any concerns or as part of a robust preventative maintenance system.

Prior to pest control day: • Get rid of any garbage. • Don’t leave any food sitting out before extermination services begin. • Make arrangements for any animals in the space in advance. • Safeguard any objects in your home that you don’t want to be affected by pesticides. • Take everything out of your bathroom (towels, laundry, etc.) • Talk to staff about the process and any health conditions and address if pesticides may affect any of these conditions.

All entries into the space will begin with a recognizable room entry procedure to provide notice to the resident. The knock protocol will be as follows: - A series of knocks and a verbal introduction by the staff member of their name and intent - If no response is heard, the staff member will knock again and wait 20 seconds - If no response again, the staff member will again introduce themselves and state their intent, wait 10 seconds, and unlock the space while announcing their entry - Once the door is unlocked, they will open the door slightly and introduce themselves and state their intent a final time

After pest control day: • Throw out any food that may have been sitting out during the extermination process; it is no longer safe to eat. • Do not be alarmed if you see pests right away, unless it is past the time that your pest control technician says you should see the last of the pests. • Do not clean your home right away after the extermination services. • Do not use any additional pesticides that you have purchased yourself. • Consult your doctor if you or anyone in your room/apartment/suite develop adverse health effects, and notify the Housing Office.

If no resident is in the space, the staff member will conduct their stated purpose and relock the room upon their exit, even if it was unlocked prior to their entry, for security reasons.

C UST O D IAL SERVICES

The custodial staff cleans all public areas (lobbies, corridors, and community-hall bathrooms) on a daily basis; however, residents are expected to keep these areas clean and free of trash. Custodial staff cleans the University Commons and University Suites bathrooms semesterly as a preventative maintenance measure.

Between scheduled pest control: • Store all food in closed containers (preferably plastic and not cardboard). • Make sure to take all trash (especially food trash) out to the dumpsters regularly. • Sweep/mop/vacuum rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, etc. regularly. • Clean up after any Service Animals/ESA and bathe them regularly.

#LIVECENTRAL


31

• Report any cracks or holes in walls or elsewhere to the Housing Office for repairs. If there is a concern regarding a pest problem outside of the scheduled pest control time periods, residents should report it as soon as possible to the Housing Office so that it can be investigated and addressed promptly. Please note that if fleas are found in a space where a resident has an approved Service Animal or ESA, or any animal that has not been approved to stay on campus with them but has been found to be living in or visiting the space, remediation will come at the cost of the owner. UCO Housing & Residential Engagement is committed to an effective and efficient response to all students who suspect they may have bed bugs. Due to the serious community issue they present. residents are required to follow all requests made by Housing staff, up to and including vacating the space temporarily during the treatment, if deemed necessary. Any claim will be investigated as soon as possible, and an action plan will be developed and implemented promptly after the investigation. If there is a suspicion of bed bugs in a space, please contact Housing immediately.

M O LD PR EVEN TION

Mold can grow anywhere there is moisture and/or dust and is present in the air all around us. In the correct conditions,growth can occur on all kinds of surfaces, such as food, paper, cardboard, wood, tile, wallpaper, carpet, fabric, and upholstery. To help prevent mold growth in your room/suite/apartment, here are a few tips: • Keep humidity levels low. Housing monitors humidity levels in our buildings, and has installed humidity-regulating fans in all University Suites and University Commons bathrooms. • Never leave open food containers or drinks sitting out for extended periods of time. • Make sure to clean hard surfaces (desks, countertops, showers/bathtubs, toilets, etc.) regularly to remove any dust and/or moisture. • Remove wet or damp materials (towels, damp clothing or shoes, etc.) from your room/bathroom/etc. and dry them promptly.

If there is a concern regarding possible mold in any residential space on campus, residents should report it immediately to the Housing Office. The claim will be investigated within 24 hours (or the next business day, if reported on a non-workday.) If mold is found to be present in the space of concern, an action plan will be developed and implemented. Residents are expected to follow all requests made by Housing staff during this process, up to and including moving to another space temporarily while the space is being investigated and/or remediated.

In the case of an emergency, call UCO Police Department (UCOPD) at (405) 974-2345 or dial 9-1-1. Residents should give a clear description of the problem, their location (including floor and room/ apartment number), and all known names of the persons involved, including their own. In non-emergencies, residents should call the RA on-call or the Housing front desk at (405) 974-2746. University Commons residents may press the red “Emergency Button” which directly notifies UCOPS. The red “Emergency Buttons” are located just inside the front door of the Commons apartments and just inside the bedroom doors. These are to be used for emergency situations only. If a resident has any type of temporary or permanent condition, syndrome, or disability that would require additional assistance during an emergency evacuation or evacuation excercise, the resident is strongly encouraged to contact their Hall Director and Disability Support Services in advance. Residents should refer to section III. A., for the contact number of the Housing front desk to pre-arrange for special assistance during emergency evacuation excercises.

FI RE SAFETY EQUI P M E N T

Each bedroom and living room in student housing has a smoke detector. Some detectors sound an alarm within an individual room, while others sound an alarm throughout an entire building. In Murdaugh and West Hall, UCO Police are not immediately notified when a room detector alarm sounds. Anyone who discovers or suspects a fire should pull a building fire alarm box, located in the hallway, to summon the fire department, alert others in the building, and exit the building immediately. In The Quad, University Commons, and University Suites, the smoke detectors are hard wired throughout the building. Initially, the smoke detectors will sound in the room, and in case of actual fire, will set off the alarms throughout the building. Fire alarm pull boxes are also available. The Quad, University Commons, and University Suites have voice annunciation fire alarms. Students are encouraged to report any problems with these systems to the Housing Office. Smoke detectors are checked by Housing staff monthly during pest control waves to ensure they are in working order. In addition to smoke detectors, sprinklers are used to suppress fire and are heat activated. Do NOT cover or hang anything, such as hangers or decorations, on the sprinklers. This can cause the sprinklers to activate and cause major damage to individual rooms/apartments, furniture and personal items. The fire alarm system, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, fire evacuation charts, exit lights, and exit signs are installed for the residents’ protection. The tampering with, theft of, or vandalism of fire equipment can result in criminal prosecution, disciplinary measures, and/or possible fines. The University regards false fire alarms and arson as se-

rious threats to the well being of the residence hall communities.

F I RE SA F ETY T RA INI NG

Residents may receive a half-hour of fire safety training when six (6) or more residents request such training. This training will be conducted by the UCO Police and the Department of Environmental Health and Safety to improve survivability in a fire. Residents may request this training through their RA during the first thirty (30) days as a resident in UCO Housing. Once per semester, there will be an unannounced fire evacuation exercise conducted by the Housing staff, UCO Police, UCO Emergency Management, and local Emergency First Responders. All rooms/apartments may be checked for evacuation, and any residents who do not vacate their room/apartment and/or any other part of their Housing facilities may be subject to disciplinary action, including, but not limited to, a fine and community service hours. All residents should be familiar with, and are required to follow, the following fire and safety regulations: • Fire Evacuation Exercises are required to ensure that residents know what to do in the event of a fire. • All residents should locate the fire exits on their floors and should be on the alert to prevent fires. • Residents should be familiar with the fire instructions that are posted in each room/apartment. • All residents and visitors are required to evacuate the building when the fire alarm is sounded. Those refusing to cooperate with UCO Housing staff, UCO Police, and/or evacuate the building are subject to disciplinary action. Housing staff may key into the rooms to check for evacuation during evacuation exercises or actual fire situations. In the event of a fire-related evacuation: • Residents should feel their door to see if it is hot. If warm, residents should put weight against the door and open slowly. If safe, evacuate. If hot, DO NOT OPEN! Residents should go to the window and make their presence known. • Close the door (Residents are reminded to take their keys when possible). • Calmly and quickly exit the building using the nearest exit. • Once outside, move away from the exit so that emergency crews can get into the building unimpeded. • Do not re-enter the building until told to do so by a Housing staff member, UCO Emergency Management Team Member, or UCO Police. • Do NOT interfere with any emergency personnel or University officials. In the event of a fire: • Pull the fire alarm or call 9-1-1. Fire alarms are located on each hallway. • Notify UCOPD and/or an RA immediately. They may require assistance in evacuating the residence hall. Residents who will provide assistance during an evacuation will be determined in advance. • If possible, contain the fire by closing the door. • No matter how small the fire is and even if it is already extinguished, report the fire incident to UCO Police or an RA immediately. • If there is a fire, use the stairs. DO NOT USE THE ELEVATOR. The

elevators may shut down in the event of a fire alarm sounding.

TORN AD O P ROCED URE S

Oklahoma is known for severe weather and thunderstorms, especially in the spring and summer months. Storms may become severe and produce tornados quickly. During inclement weather, please try to keep an eye out for changing weather conditions. Notifications may be posted by UCO Housing Staff during incoming severe weather times. It is important for residents to know there are key differences in severe weather terminology. Please notice and remember the terms and meanings below: Tornado Watch: A tornado watch means weather conditions are favorable for the formation of tornados, but no tornado has been detected in the immediate area. “Tornado Watch” warning signs will be posted, indicating conditions are favorable for the formation of a tornado. Stay alert for weather changes. Tornado Warning: A tornado warning means a tornado has been spotted by trained weather professionals in person or on radar. Tornado and security warnings are indicated by intermittent sounds of the city sirens. This signal is given only when a tornado is likely to strike immediately or within fifteen (15) minutes. This same signal sound is tested every Saturday at noon within the the Oklahoma County area. UCO is located within Oklahoma County. In the event tornado sirens sound or the threat of severe weather is imminent: • Go immediately to the nearest designated shelter location on campus(see centerfold map) • In the event residents cannot reach a designated shelter area in a timely and safe manner, it is recommended that the residents find “shelter in place” by seeking the lowest level of the structure you are in if it does not have a basement. A basement is considered the safest location in severe weather. However, locations on campus with accessible basements are limited. Residents should get into an interior space that does not have windows and remain there until they are sure the danger has passed. • Residents should stay in the shelter location until the “ALL CLEAR” signal is given by UCO Police Officers and UCO Housing staff. The City of Edmond tests the tornado sirens every Saturday at 12:00 p.m.

B OM B TH REATS

If a bomb threat is received on a student telephone, the resident should: • Stay calm and try to pay close attention to all details of the phone call, including:

• The exact time of the call • The name of the caller, if given • Their organization/affiliation • The purpose of the threat • The location and type of bomb • The time the bomb is set to explode • Where the caller is located • Who else has the caller informed • Any other statements made by the caller • Listen to the voice to determine the sex, age, accent, and distinguishing features of the voice • Listen for background noises • Immediately call 9-1-1 and relay all information regarding the call to the dispatcher. After ending the call with the police dispatcher, the resident should notify the Housing staff. If the threat is associated with the building the resident is in, exit immediately and move to the fire evacuation rally point before calling Housing. DO NOT activate the fire alarm system in the building. If residents locate a suspicious package or device that may be related to a bomb threat or lead residents to believe it poses a threat in the absence of a delivered threat, DO NOT TOUCH IT OR MOVE IT. Residents should exit the building and call 9-1-1 immediately to report what they have witnessed. A bomb threat, even one made as a prank, is a violation of both federal and local laws and is punishable by a $250,000 fine and up to five (5) years in prison. Such threats, also subject to University and Housing disciplinary action, act as a major disturbance to the Residence Hall/ Commons Community and may create extreme stress for both residents and staff. Reflecting its severity, rewards may be paid to individuals assisting in the conviction of persons making and/or involved in making a bomb threat. See current UCO Code of Student Conduct, section III. H. 20.

E ART H Q UAKES/ EXPLOS I ONS

If outside during an earthquake/explosion, residents should take the following actions: • If you are outside, during an earthquake, stay outside. Move away from trees, signs, buildings, electrical poles, and wires. Protect your head with your arms from potential falling bricks, glass, plaster, and other possible debris. • Move away from any fire and smoke noticed. • Proceed to the designated fire safety rallying point for your residence hall. If inside of a building during an earthquake/explosion, residents should take the following actions: • Immediately take cover under a table, desk, or other objects which give protection against potential flying glass and/or debris. • If you are not near a sturdy object, make yourself as small as possible and cover your head and neck or stand in a doorway, brace yourself against the frame, and watch out for swinging doors or other persons entering/exiting. • Avoid overhead fixtures, windows, filing cabinets, bookcases, and other heavy objects that could fall or shatter. • After the earthquake effects have subsided, quickly scan your immedi-

ate area and check for any injuries to yourself. If major damage has occurred, be alert for any safety hazards (fires, electrical sparks, gas leaks, etc.), evacuate the immediate area and call UCO Police Services at (405) 974-2345. • If major damage has occured: - do not light matches or turn lights on or off. - exit via the nearest and safest stairwell and do not use elevators. - proceed to the designated fire safety rallying point for your residence hall and await further instructions from UCO Police Services, other properly identified UCO Emergency personnel, or UCO Housing Staff member. Do not re-enter the affected building(s) until the “All Clear” has been given.
