Crime Prevention: How to Protect Your Motor Vehicle

Many motor vehicle thefts are crimes of opportunity. Please note the following prevention tips:

Don’t leave keys in your vehicle

Park in well-lit areas

Do not leave valuables in plain sight

Immediately report any suspicious activity on campus to the Clemson University Police Department at 864-656-2222.

This information is being released in accordance with the federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act.

Workers have completed repairs on downed Duke Energy transmission lines, which left Clemson University’s main campus without power today. Power has been restored to the main campus.

Therefore, Clemson University’s main campus will be on normal class and office operation schedules tomorrow, April 24.

Power remains out at Clemson due to downed poles on Duke Energy transmission lines. Therefore, all Clemson University main campus day and evening classes and activities are canceled and offices are closed today, April 23.

Employees:
This closure, while weather-related, is an event in which leave will not be forgiven by the Governor. Employees must either:
-take annual leave, or
-take compensatory time, or
-take unpaid leave, or
-work with their supervisors to work from home or flex their schedules to make up time for today.

Drivers:
Many traffic signals are not working. State law requires that drivers treat non-working signals like stop signs and come to a complete stop before proceeding through the intersection.

Officials report that multiple power poles are down on the Duke Energy transmission lines leading into Clemson’s main campus substation. Because of that, virtually all of Clemson’s main campus is without power. Therefore, Clemson University main campus classes are canceled and offices are closed until 12:15 p.m. Check alerts.clemson.edu for updates.

A bat was found inside the Hendrix Student Center on campus this week. Bats and other wild animals can carry rabies and transfer the disease to humans and pets through their bites.

If you see a bat indoors, do not try to remove it yourself. If you are in a residence hall or student housing, contact University Housing at 864-656-5450. If you are in another campus building, contact CUPD at 864-656-2222. Students who have made contact with a bat should seek immediate treatment at Redfern Health Center (864-656-2233) or visit a local emergency room, while faculty/staff should visit a local emergency room as well.

Avoid contact with wild animals, including feral cats. Do not feed cats or other animals on campus. Feeding them encourages them to stay on campus and spilled or spoiled food may attract nuisance animals, such as skunks. Do not tamper with animal traps on campus. They may be used for research projects or to catch nuisance animals.
