The Public Safety Office reminds the UST community about safety guidelines concerning the end-of-semester book buybacks at the St. Paul and Mpls campus bookstores. Each semester, Public Safety receives reports of stolen textbooks, primarily from students studying in the O’Shaughnessy-Frey Library Center. These textbooks are often sold back to the Bookstore during this buy back period
Due to past thefts of textbooks and book bags, patrons are asked to be watchful of their property at all times. Do not leave your property unattended or out of your sight. It is recommended that you mark your books and property in such a way that will be identifiable only by you. Marking property may assist with recovery of stolen property. One method is to highlight certain words on specific pages in a book, or write a word or words that have meaning only to you.
While Public Safety increases patrol and surveillance during this time of year, you can help by notifying the department immediately if you see suspicious activity or people on or near campus. You may report crime confidentially or anonymously by e-mail: PSTIPS@stthomas.edu, or by calling 651-962-TIPS.
Call 651-962-5100 for more campus crime prevention information.
