Register your bicycle promptly when you arrive on campus. The Department of Public Safety offers a free bicycle registration program for all members of the college community. You may register your bicycle any time during the year, and special registration posts are set up at the beginning of fall semester for new students.

When you register your bike you will be issued a reflective, numbered sticker to be permanently affixed to your bicycle. Your registration information will be kept on file at the Department of Public Safety for use if your bike is lost or stolen.

Do not leave your bike unlocked, even for a few minutes.

Secure your bike frame and both wheels to a bike rack or other fixed, immovable object. Quick-release wheels are easy targets for thieves and should always be secured with the bike frame.

When locking your bike outside, place it in a well-lighted or open area to discourage theft attempts.

Do not secure your bike to small trees, aluminum or wooden posts, or chain link fences. These items can be easily broken or cut.

Secure your bike with a high-quality lock. A light-weight cable or chain no longer provides adequate security in most areas.
