The Department of Public Safety, the Department of Residence Life, and the residents themselves share responsibility for the security and safety of the residence halls.
Three area coordinators (ACs) live in the residence halls and oversee the student resident assistants (RAs). They monitor residence hall safety conditions. The RAs are trained in safety and security issues during pre-semester workshops.
| The main entrances of each residence hall are accessed electronically through the College's identification-card system. The buildings are locked 24 hours a day, and Public Safety Officers and Residence Life staff members check residence halls periodically during their shifts. The entrances of all of the large residence halls, Woodcrest, Xavier, East Residence Hall, and West Residence Hall, Dixon House, and the Cabrini Apartment Complex are regularly staffed by Public Safety Officers from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and by members of the Residence Life staff from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Doors of students' rooms are equipped with heavy-duty dead bolt locks and peepholes. The first floor windows of the seven small student houses and Woodcrest Hall also are secured by specialty security screens. The side and back doors of residence halls are alarmed to prevent propping. - Become familiar with Cabrini's campus. Maps are available at the Public Safety and Admissions offices, as well as at www.cabrini.edu/Map.
