    ANDSyracuse University is committed to the provision of

    safe and secure housing for South Campus residents.

    In a setting such as the South Campus apartments,

    where there exists numerous apartment buildings

    spread over a wide area, anda high turnover of residents,

    it is important that students

    related to sanitation and

    safety procedures.

    For your own safety, please

    remember to lock your

    apartment door, sliding glass

    door (where available), and

    security screen (where available) whenever you

    leave your apartment. It is good practice to also lock

    your doors while you are home.

    For more information on safety, please contact the

    Department of Public Safety (publicsafety.syr.edu).

    INSPECTIONSYour apartment will be inspected at least once

    during the academic year. The inspection will take

    approximately ten minutes and it is not necessary for

    you to be home when the inspection is performed.

    Two to three University staff members will enter

    your apartment for the inspection between the hours

    of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. A copy of the completed

    inspection report will be left for you.

    While Health and Safety Inspections are not limited

    to the following items, the following items are

    prohibited in or around South Campus apartments:

    a. Candles, incense, lava lamps, multi-headed lamps, and halogen lamps. If

    Centro bus system. On South

    Campus, bus service throughout the apartments and

    result, there should be a bus stopping at the bus stops

    about every 7 minutes during peak class time usage.While this provides a bus service that a convenient,

    with frequent pick-ups, it is important to plan

    accordingly based on your academic

    schedule/transportation needs and the usage of other

    riders. It will be unlikely that you can ride the

    closest bus to your class time as other residents may

    be on the bus, causing it to be full.

    New for 2012! A #444 Small Road Bus will be

    active this year, operating Monday Thursday

    between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. This addition should

    help alleviate some of the congestion experiencedlast year during peak academic times. The #444 will

    operate on Small Road only, traveling through

    Manley. In order to keep this new route flexible for

    tweaking the schedule as needed, it will not appear

    on any the official bus schedule. However, Small

    Road residents should be aware of the existence of

    this new route.

    disposing of your trash and recyclables in the

    appropriate dumpsters/containers outside of your

    apartment building. Do not place trash bags,

    garbage, food, or recyclables outside your

    your neighbors. If trash and recyclables are not

    disposed of properly, you and/or your apartment

    building may be billed for this violation. Please
