Students in Carr Hall have individual room keys and all exterior doors remain secured 24 hours a day. An outdoor, vandal-proof security telephone located at the main entrance door of the facility is available to students. Also, prospective residence hall visitors use this telephone to have their host/hostess admit them into the building. The facility is supervised by experienced graduate or undergraduate students. Residents in Carr Hall access the outside door with a key card. University Police officers have a master key for the front door only.

The Vanderventer Apartments offer space on a priority basis to sophomore, junior, senior and graduate students. The facility accommodates four men or four women in each of the apartment units. A full-time resident supervisor is available to assist, provide appropriate supervision, and monitor the students on a day-to-day basis. Security becomes a shared responsibility between the supervisor, the residents, and University Police.

The majority of residence hall students reside on the East side of campus in Concho Hall, Texan Hall, the two Massie residence halls, and the Vanderventer Apartments. University Police officers regularly patrol these residence halls on foot, on bicycle and in patrol vehicles on a 24 hour basis. Currently, the University Police uses bike patrols by both police officers and student officers. In addition, student officers patrol between the hours of 4 p.m. to midnight, Sunday through Thursday, and 7 p.m. to 3 a.m., Friday and Saturday.


The student officer program began in the fall of 1997 and is comprised of both male and female officers. The primary function of the student officer is acting as another set of eyes and ears for the University Police. At no time will they approach a suspicious situation. Instead, they will contact the regular University Police officer by radio. When necessary and/or requested, student officers will escort students to and from residence halls.
