There are
academic computer labs throughout campus available to Elon
students at no extra charge. Elon is a multi-platform campus
with ten PC labs and six Mac labs. Each computer is connected
to the Internet and can access e-mail and software servers
located throughout the campus. If at any time you have
a problem in a computer lab, call the Technology Help Desk at
ext. 5200 (all computer labs have phones).
Some computer labs, including the Belk Library computing
facilities, are open throughout most vacations and offer
extended hours during exams.
Bank Accounts and Check Cashing
Elon
University does not cash checks. Students are urged to open
an account with a local bank in order to avoid complications
in the management of funds. Numerous banks are located within
a five-mile radius of campus. When opening an account, it is
best to make the initial deposit with cash or a certified
check. If students use a personal check to open an account,
many banks will require that they wait until that check
clears before writing checks on the new account. Keep careful
records of checks written to avoid passing a worthless check.
Returned checks result in costly service charges and can harm
the student's personal credit record.
Campus Safety and Police
The Office
of Campus Safety and Police patrols the campus every day of
the year. The office also administers the university's
parking program, sponsors educational programming for the
campus community related to safety and security issues,
provides an escort service, operates the tram and shuttle
service, administers the Operation ID program in which
student property can be engraved for identification purposes
and is the campus lost and found location. Campus security is
maintained by a professional security staff which works under
the direct supervision of the director of campus safety and
police. The office works in very close cooperation with the
Campus Police Department and the staff of the Division of
Student Life.
Campus safety and police reminds students that the best
security system is one in which every member of the community
is alert. This means, among other things, that students
should remember to lock their residence hall doors and take
their keys with them; not go anywhere alone at night; report
all suspicious persons immediately to the security office,
residence life staff member or one of the deans; never leave
personal possessions, including books, unattended; file a
room inventory with the Office of Campus Safety and Police
and engrave all valuables in a conspicuous place with
one's license number.
The university does not assume responsibility for personal
property. Students should check any home insurance policies
which they or their parents carry to see if the policies
cover their belongings while they are in college. Many
homeowners policies cover belongings while at college.
Any problem involving theft should be reported immediately
to the Office of Campus Safety and Police, ext. 5555 or
911.
During any crisis or time of need, seconds count. Elon has
installed emergency phones at strategic points around campus.
On the way to class, the office or travels around the campus,
become familiar with the locations of the phones. When
activated, the phones contact the campus security
communication center. Phones are located at the following
places:
Emergency
Phones: Campus BLUE LIGHT and CALL BOX
Phones can be found in the followings:
Blue Light Phones - The Blue
Light System is a series of emergency alarm stations
strategically located throughout campus to provide assistance
to anyone in distress. A blue beacon shines above each alarm
station. When an individual presses the alarm button, they
can communicate directly with the communication officer at
the Department of Campus Safety and Police
