Studying after hours

When you have to study late, there are some important precautions to add to your safety plan. If you do see any suspicious behaviour, call AUT Security on +64 9 921 9997.
  • Avoid walking alone at night. Travel with a friend or arrange a security escort
  • Use well-illuminated routes and park in areas that will be well lit and populated when you return
  • Be alert and walk purposefully. A person who is confident, walking upright and briskly is less likely to become a victim
  • Carry your keys in your hand for quick access when approaching your building or vehicle
  • If you think someone is following you, go to a place where you know there are other people and telephones
  • Carrying a mobile phone may make you feel more secure
  • Tell someone where you are and the time you expect to return
  • Check doors are locked at night. Do not assume somebody else will do it.

Security escorts

If you’re concerned about walking between buildings and campus car parks, a security escort is available during both the day and night. To arrange this service, call AUT Security in advance on +64 9 921 9997
