It is a student’s responsibility to purchase appropriate insurance coverage to address any personal property loss. Students who use community storage areas on campus do so at their own risk. The College does not assume any legal or financial obligation for any student’s personal property that may be lost or damaged in its buildings and grounds.
SECURING YOUR ROOM
Students are responsible for locking their rooms at all times.
Definitions
Operation Identification is a nationally recognized property identification program open to all members of the Allegheny College community. The goal is to deter thefts and burglary and aid in the recovery of stolen property. This is accomplished by engraving personal belongings and tracking important identifying information about such items. Marked property is difficult for a thief or burglar to dispose of or resell, and can be traced to the rightful owner with relative ease. If someone is caught with marked property, it is solid evidence of possession of stolen goods.
Operation Identification Students are encouraged to get their belongings engraved at Public Safety as part of “Operation Identification”
