Overview/Description

Campus safety may not be your biggest concern, but you should be aware that you could be exposed to dangerous situations during the college or university years. Your personal safety requires a knowledge of the potential dangers present on campus and the steps you can take while engaging in campus life to keep yourself, your property, and others safe. In this course, you will learn how to recognize potentially unsafe situations on campus, in your residence, in your car, and in social situations. You'll discover basic safety precautions to take and the best practices for responding if an incident does occur. You'll also explore the R.O.A.R. approach, a method that prompts you to recognize threats, overcome fear, act to keep yourself safe, and report the incident.
