Personal safety starts with you. Protect yourself and your property by becoming informed and using good judgment. Always lock up valuable items. Lock your dorm or apartment door, even when you are home. Lock your car. Lock your bike. Use a locker and lock at the Student Recreation Center. If you work in a University office, lock your purse and other valuables in a cabinet or drawer. It takes practically no time to lock up, even if you are just leaving for a moment. University Police recommend that during school breaks you take computers, stereos and other valuables home with you. For more information on preventing theft, refer to the UA Safer Living Guide.
UA students interested in purchasing a bowl game ticket should add themselves to the ticket request list between noon on Dec. 6 and 5 p.m. on Dec. 8.

An e-mail scam was recently sent to UA faculty, staff and student accounts. The e-mail asks recipients to provide their usernames and passwords for a UA Web mail account upgrade. This message is a phishing scam attempting to get login information, which will be used by the scammers to hijack e-mail accounts. Recipients should not click the link or reply with their usernames and passwords. Delete the message and take no action. Those who may have already responded to the e-mail should change their passwords immediately. Students should always be skeptical of messages that seem to come from the University concerning their Bama e-mail or any other accounts. The Office of Information Technology never solicits usernames and passwords in e-mails. For more information about this scam or how to protect yourself from similar phishing scams, call the IT Service Desk at 348-5555.
