The Security Liaison Office would like to remind all students and the
entire Mzuzu University Community to keep in mind the following
security tips as a way of preventing crime thereby making Mzuni safe
and secure;
1. Avoid hiding your room keys close to your room.
2. Ensure that you lock your rooms when sleeping or leaving the
room.
3. Avoid entertaining strange visitors in your rooms.
4. Avoid putting your property (Cell Phones, Laptops, Bags, etc.)
close to the window of your rooms.
5. Do not trust anyone to use your rooms in your absence.
6. Use your bed lockers for safe custody of your valuable items when
sleeping.
7. Remember to switch the lights off when sleeping at night.
8. Always carry your Laptop Computers, Phones, Cash and other
important items when leaving your rooms unless you leave them
 with trustworthy friends (these items are mostly targeted by
criminals).
9. Do not leave keys on the door of your room when sleeping at
night.
10. Report any problem in your room (Window/Door) to
Maintenance Section through Matron’s office or Porters Lodge.
11. When walking at night, especially off campus students, be in
groups to avoid being attacked by thugs.
12. Remember to carry your School Identity Card when walking
for easy identification.
13. For off campus residents, make sure you make arrangements
with landlords that there is security 24/7 in the places of your
residence.
14. Do not be fooled to make any payments through Mobile
Transactions or Personal Bank Accounts, always use authentic
University bank account numbers only.
15. In case you notice any person even among students showing
some criminal behavior, please report to the Security Liaison
Office for immediate action (Confidentiality is guaranteed).

LET’S BE SECURITY CONSCIOUS, SECURITY BEGINS WITH THE INDIVIDUAL.
