Your hometown university has taken deliberate and specific measures to ensure that
you enjoy the best possible campus environment. These efforts have made UCF a
comfortable and welcoming place for students, faculty and staff members, and visitors.
UCF employs fully sworn professional law enforcement officers who are commissioned to
protect our lives and property and to preserve the peace on our campus. These officers
participate in all of UCF’s crime prevention efforts, and they maintain cooperative relationships
with the law enforcement agencies in our neighboring cities and counties to ensure our safety.
But we also need your help. Please read and follow the suggestions in this guide so that,
together, we can prevent crime in our community and make UCF a safe and enjoyable
environment for everyone.

The UCF Police Department provides professional law enforcement services and crime
prevention assistance to maintain and promote human safety and the security of
property for the UCF campus and its associated locations. The department facilitates
the achievement of the academic, research, and public service mission of the university
through its safety and security programs, the protection of individual rights, and reducing

UCF will make reasonable efforts to provide
notification about emergencies and natural or
man-made disasters affecting the university.
Each individual who has the authority to activate the
UCF Alert system has the responsibility of ensuring
that it is activated primarily for life safety situations,
and is not used for routine notifications. UCF will,
without delay and taking into account the safety of the
community, determine the content of the notification,
and initiate the notification system, unless issuing
a notification will, in the professional judgment of
responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist a
victim or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate
the emergency. emergency.ucf.edu
WhAT Is UCF ALERT?UCF Alert is a multi-media communications system
that provides timely and accurate information about
emergency situations that could impact the university.
The goal is to help keep the campus safe and informed
during an emergency.
The UCF Office of Emergency Management, the UCF
Police Department and UCF News & Information
determine which communications tools will be used
during an emergency. These entities work together
to provide timely and accurate information to the
UCF community.
UCF Alert features several communications tools,
including e-mails, text messages, Web updates, social
media, sirens and more.
Generally, e-mails and text messages will be used
only for events that present an imminent danger
to the campus community or that will significantly
impact university operations. UCF understands
that some UCF Alert recipients may be charged for
receiving text messages, and, therefore, will use text
messages judiciously.
Examples of situations in which text messages and
e-mails might be sent include, but are not limited
to, bomb threats, chemical spills, significant traffic
or parking issues, and extreme weather alerts.
At all times, the best source for official news and
information is the UCF website, ucf.edu. The site will
be updated during an emergency, as information
becomes available.
For questions about UCF Alert and how it is used,
contact the UCF Office of Emergency Management
at 407-823-6300.

VOLUNTARY CONFIDENTIAL REPORTINGUCF has several methods for individuals to report
crimes and other serious incidents on a voluntary and
confidential basis. If you are the victim of a crime and
do not wish to pursue action within the university
system or the criminal justice system, you may still
want to consider making a confidential report. With
such information, the university can keep an accurate
record of the number of incidents involving students,
determine where there is a pattern of crime with regard
to a particular location, method or assailant, and alert
the campus community to potential danger. Reports
filed in this manner are counted and disclosed in the
annual crime statistics for the institution.
ACCEss TO UNIVERsITY FACILITIEsUniversity facilities are well-maintained and in the
interest of the students, faculty and staff members,
security is given considerable attention. Many cultural
and athletic events held in university facilities are open
to the public. Other facilities, such as the bookstore,
libraries and cafeterias, are also open to the public.
Access to academic and administrative facilities on
campus is generally limited to students, employees and
visitors for the purpose of study, work, teaching and
conducting other university business.
CAMPUs sAFETY ALERT/CRIME ALERT BULLETINThe university relies upon its close, working
relationships with local law enforcement agencies
to receive information about incidents involving UCF
students, UCF police officers actively investigate any
crime tip received. When notified of incidents involving
a campus community member, a Campus Safety Alert/
Crime Alert Bulletin is released, detailing the incident
and providing tips for others to avoid similar situations.
In addition, the UCF Police Department has a mutual
aid agreement with the Orange and Seminole
County Sheriff’s Department and the Oviedo Police
Department—that provides for corporation and
assistance in emergency situations.
REPORTING CRIMINAL INCIDENTs AND OThER EMERGENCIEsAll students, employees and guests should promptly
report crimes in progress, life and death situations,
and crashes with injuries to 911. Specify your location
if you are calling from your cell phone. Stay on the line
until the dispatcher locates your jurisdiction and tells
you to hang up.
All other police business (crimes over with, suspicious
persons, questions, etc.) may be directed to the UCF
Police Department by phone at 407-823-5555, or in

as needed.
For more information and services and programs offered, please speak with a community relations officer during business hours. Some programs must have a three-week advance set up. Interviews for classes are by appointment only.
BICYCLE IMPOUNDMENTBikes are popular at UCF. The UCF Police Department
tries to keep the number of abandoned or non-working
bikes to a minimum, so students who ride their bikes
have a place to park. Throughout the year, the UCF
Police Department and designated personnel tag bikes
that appear to be abandoned (rusty chains, flat tire,
etc.) for a minimum of five days. If the tagged bikes
aren’t removed and repaired within five days, the bike
may be impounded. Once impounded, the bike may be
auctioned in 30 days. Proceeds from bike auctions go
to student scholarships and loans. For more information
about bike safety, visit http://www.police.ucf.edu/
BicycleSafety.html.
Bikes that are illegally parked (locked to anything other
than a bike rack) can be impounded at any time. To
retrieve a bike that was illegally parked, call the UCF
Police Department at 407-823-5555 during normal
business hours. There is a $20 impound fee for retrieval.

all options allows victims to make informed decisions
about what’s best for them.
In addition to options, an advocate can provide crisis
intervention, emotional support, practical assistance,
criminal justice and UCF administrative support, and
appropriate referrals to on- and off-campus agencies
and resources.

sEx OFFENsEsIf you are the survivor of a sexual battery, sexual
assault, or date or acquaintance rape, and you do not
wish to report immediately to law enforcement, help is
available 24/7. An advocate can discuss all options,
so survivors can make an informed decision and receive
appropriate referrals and resources specifically related
for this type of victimization. A UCF advocate is always
available to assist you with or without a police report.
RECOMMENDATIONs • Call for an advocate.
• Consider filing a police report

UNIVERsITY DIsCIPLINARY ACTIONThe Office of Student Conduct, under the Office
of Student Rights and Responsibilities (OSRR),
coordinates all disciplinary proceedings involving sexual
misconduct by students, as defined in The Golden Rule Student Handbook. Victims of sexual misconduct may
report these incidents to the UCF Police Department
at 407-823-5555, to the Office of Student Conduct
at 407-823-4368, or to UCF Advocate Services at
407-823-2425. Students charged with violations of
the Rules of Conduct as stated in The Golden Rule Student Handbook will be given notice of the charges
and complaints against them and will be provided
an opportunity to respond to these charges in a
disciplinary hearing. Victims of sexual misconduct will
be given the opportunity to offer comments regarding
the sanctions imposed upon the charged student,
should that student be found to have been in violation
of university policies.
When an alleged offender’s behavior poses a threat
to the university community, the director of Student
Rights and Responsibilities or designee may immedi-
ately suspend the student from the university on an
interim basis until a hearing can be convened to either
confirm or cancel that immediate interim suspension.
The alleged victim and the alleged offender will be
given the opportunity to be accompanied by an adviser
of their choice at the disciplinary hearing. Students
found to have been in violation of the Rules of Conduct
regarding sexual misconduct will be sanctioned
in accordance with the alternatives as stated in
the Disciplinary Sanctions section of The Golden Rule Student Handbook. These alternatives include
disciplinary warning, disciplinary probation, suspension
or expulsion from the university. University disciplinary
proceedings may be held in instances involving alleged
sexual misconduct, even when formal charges under
state law are not brought in the state courts.
By offering a wide range of services designed to
assist as well as educate students in resolving their
disputes, the OSRR combines Student Legal Services,
Dispute Resolution Services, and the Office of Student
Conduct. OSRR provides a forum that contributes to
the individual growth and development of the student’s
knowledge of community responsibility, due process,
conflict resolution skills, and university conduct rules.
Our resources are more effectively used by combining
and referring within the judicial knowledge base that
exists within these three services. For more information,
call 407-823-6960.

It is the policy of UCF to comply with the requirements
of the Clery Act in regards to providing notice to an
emergency contact or a parent or guardian when
a student living in on-campus or affiliated housing
is missing.
If any member of the university community has reason
to believe a student residing in on-campus or affiliated
housing is missing, they should contact the UCF Police
Department at 407-823-5555 within 24 hours. The
UCF Police Department will generate a missing person
report and initiate an investigation.
Students residing in on-campus or affiliated housing
will be informed on how to register their contact
person(s) by the Department of Housing and
Residence Life (DHRL).
Students have the opportunity to submit revised
emergency contact information at any time through
the myUCF portal. The myUCF portal provides faculty
and staff members, and students with a personalized
gateway to information and applications from one
secure, centralized location.
Students will have their contact information registered
confidentially. This information is only accessible to
authorized campus officials. It will not be disclosed to
anyone, except to law enforcement personnel, in order
to further a missing person investigation.
For persons under 18 years of age and who are not
emancipated, the university will notify a custodial
parent or guardian within 24 hours of the determination
that the student is missing, in addition to notifying any
additional contact person(s) designated by the student.
The Department of Housing and Residence Life will
notify the UCF Police Department within 24 hours of
the determination that a student is missing, unless the
UCF Police Department made the initial missing
person determination.
If a student has designated a contact person, university
officials will notify that contact person within 24 hours
after it has been determined that the student is missing.
Regardless of whether the student has identified
a contact person, is above the age of 18, or is an
emancipated minor, the Department of Housing and
Residence Life will inform the UCF Police Department
of a missing student within 24 hours.

responsible resident(s). Neither students nor staff can
interrupt Fire Department units once they have been
dispatched to the campus community. If an alarm is
activated, the DHRL duty station or UCF Police should
be contacted to help residents better respond to
protecting themselves and others in the community.
Appliances: Each apartment has a full kitchen with
a full-sized refrigerator, freezer and oven range.
If a resident plans to operate any of the above
permitted appliances in his or her room, the
appliance must be in good working order and it
must be plugged into a power strip with a built-in
circuit breaker.
All garbage resulting from the preparation of food
in the apartment must be placed in a garbage bag
and taken directly to the area dumpsters to avoid
odor, attracting bugs or contributing to unsanitary
conditions. Apartment kitchens are not to be used for
things such as class projects, science experiments and
washing hair. Additionally, residents who use apartment
kitchens are required to clean up after themselves
before leaving.
Residence halls and Fraternity/sorority house Rooms: For safety and sanitation reasons, the following items
are prohibited: two sided, open faced, or indoor electric
grills (ex. “George Foreman Grill”); deep fryers; toaster
ovens; toasters; electric skillets; hot plates; and any
appliance with exposed heating coils. A $25 fine per
occurrence and a review of the resident’s housing
agreement may be considered if he or she is found
violating this policy. Residents are allowed to have a
microwave oven (must be 1,000 watts or less). Popcorn
poppers, hot pots, and coffeepots with an automatic
shut-off feature may also be used in residence hall,
fraternity house and sorority house rooms.
Refrigerators (with or without freezers) which do not
exceed five cubic feet total capacity are permitted.
Residents with larger appliances will be asked to
remove them and will be subject to a $25 fine
per occurrence.
If a resident plans to operate any of the above
permitted appliances in his or her room, the
appliance must be in good working order and it
must be plugged into a power strip with a built-in
circuit breaker.
Building Fire Alarms: If the alarm has sounded in
a DHRL facility, all residents and their guests must
immediately evacuate the building and proceed to
the evacuation location (at least 300 feet from the
building). If a fire is observed, activate the nearest
pull station, call 911, and continue to proceed to
the building’s evacuation location. Staff will respond
to the sounding alarm and will direct residents
accordingly. Always follow the direction of
university staff, the UCF Police Department
and the Fire Department.
Candles and Incense: Due to the potential fire hazard,
the use or possession of candles, incense or other
related items is strictly prohibited in all DHRL facilities.
This restriction includes unlit, unburned and
unused products.
RES I DENC E h All SAFE T Y
16
Cooking and safety: • Always turn on the vent above the stove
• Remember to use caution when cooking and never
leave food that is cooking unattended
• Remember the stove may heat differently than
other stoves, so residents should check their food
frequently
• Check the stove before turning it on to ensure it is
empty and has been properly cleaned
If your smoke detector sounds from cooking in ONLY your apartment, and there is no fire: • Call your Resident Assistant or community duty
station
• Identify who is calling, the location, and that a
smoke detector is sounding
• Turn on the vent or fan and open windows, if
possible, to clear any smoke
• DHRL, University Police or Facilities Operations
will respond to the scene
Circuit Breakers: If an electrical circuit is overloaded,
it will trip the circuit. This is a safety feature to
prevent electrical fires. If a circuit is tripped, electrical
appliances should be unplugged and relocated to
different outlets. The resident should then notify his or
her Resident Assistant.
Curtains and Draperies: Curtains and draperies
are prohibited in all DHRL facilities. Curtains being
used in hallways, closets or as partitions in rooms or
apartments are also prohibited. If a bedroom does not
have doors on the closet, the resident may put
up a curtain using a tension rod; however, the rod must
be 20 inches from the ceiling, in order to allow the
sprinkler full coverage in the event of a fire.
Failing to follow these policies may result in a sanction
or citation.
Electrical Cord Guidelines: Extension cords are
prohibited in university housing facilities. Only 120v,
UL approved, electrical power outlet strips (surge
protectors) with a built–in manual reset 15-amp circuit
breaker are permissible. The maximum allowable length
of the cord is six feet, with a maximum of six outlets
at the end of the cord. Only one outlet strip may be
used per wall outlet, and power strips may not be
plugged into one another (daisy-chaining). In addition,
non-circuited multi-socket cords, multi-plug adapters,
anything with a frayed or damaged cord, and air
fresheners or fans with an outlet are strictly prohibited,
as they can cause a fire. Be very cautious and ask
Resident Assistants any questions. These policies are
in accordance with the Florida State Fire Marshal and
state policy.
Emergency Evacuation Procedures: Residents and
their guests are required to participate in all alarmed or
announced evacuations, whether it is a drill, an active
fire, or other threat-related incident. Failure to evacuate
a building when an alarm has sounded, or as directed
by university staff, UCF Police Department or Fire
Department, is strictly prohibited. Failure to cooperate
in any evacuations may result in housing agreement
and student conduct violations.
Evacuate Immediately: All persons are required to
evacuate for every alarm, unless previously directed
by DHRL staff that it is only a test. Failure to evacuate
immediately may result in student conduct action and
termination of the resident’s housing agreement.
Evacuation Locations: Each individual building
will have its own evacuation location. All Resident
Assistants will cover this information in their first
residence hall meeting. Each evacuation location will be
at least 300 feet from the building.
Failure to Comply: All residents must comply with
all written and verbal requests and instructions from
university officials. Failure to do so is a violation of the
Rules of Conduct.
Fire Drills: DHRL and Environmental Health & Safety
conduct fire drills each semester. Residents will be
notified in advance of all fire drills.
Fire Extinguishers: All residents should know how to
use a fire extinguisher. If a resident does not know how
to use one and wants to learn, he or she should contact
a Resident Assistant. In addition to the extinguishers
provided, DHRL recommends that every resident
also have their own multi-purpose or multi-class
extinguisher in the event of an emergency.
Fire, health and safety Inspections: For the safety
of all community residents, room inspections are
completed throughout the year to conduct specific fire,
health and safety checks. Any violations found during
these checks will need to be corrected in a specified
time period (as directed by a Resident Assistant).
Failure to correct violations may result in housing
and student conduct sanctions and a review of the
resident’s housing agreement. Some violations are
subject to immediate contract review.
Fire safety, Alarms and Related Information: Fire
safety is a top priority in UCF residential facilities.
It is vital that all members of the community
understand and follow all rules and regulations.
Fire safety Equipment: Tampering with any part of
a fire protection system or equipment, including false
alarms from pull stations; obstructing or tampering
with doors, smoke detectors, stove top extinguishers,
sprinkler heads, evacuation signs, pipes, hydrants,
or exit signs; and illegal use of a fire extinguisher are
violations of the law and are punishable by a mandatory
$5,000 fine and/or six months jail time. The resident
will also be held responsible for Fire Department fines,
related clean up costs, and student conduct violations
for instances that occur as a result of accident or
intentional acts of endangerment. The resident may
also face immediate housing agreement termination.
17
hazardous Materials: Explosives, flammable or any
hazardous substances, or any item or thing of a
dangerous nature are strictly prohibited within
DHRL facilities.
Prohibited Items: Live cut trees (ex. Christmas tree)
are prohibited inside all DHRL facilities. In addition,
flammable or hazardous materials including, but not
limited to, bug bombs, gases, gasoline, solvents, lighter
fluid, propane, dive tanks and welding tanks are also
prohibited (full or empty). Also see appliances, candles
and incense, electrical cord guidelines, hazardous
materials, smoking, and weapons in this guide for
other prohibited items.
Re-entry to Building: Do not re-enter the building
until you are instructed to do so. This order will be
given by DHRL staff or by the university police.
Failure to adhere to this may result in student conduct
action and possible termination of the resident’s
housing agreement.
smoking: In compliance with the Florida Clean Air
Act of 1992, smoking is not permitted in any residence
hall, apartment room, hallway, lounge, laundry room,
community center, common house space, classroom,
or enclosed stairway of any building managed by
DHRL at UCF. Smoking outside is permitted, as long as
persons are at least 15 feet from any building.
smoke Detectors: All rooms are equipped with smoke
detectors. Some of these detectors are connected
to the main alarm system, and to the UCF Police
Department. If the units are tampered with in any way,
the police will respond to the alarm. Do not tamper
with or cover any fire safety device, as it puts everyone
in the community in danger. If a detector or alarm
beeps or sounds for an unknown reason, notify DHRL
staff immediately.
sprinklers: Many DHRL facilities are equipped with
sprinklers. Sprinklers are there to protect both residents
and their belongings, and are not to be tampered with
or used to hang items on. Tampering or damaging
these devices, regardless of intent, will result in
student conduct action and immediate housing
agreement termination.
staff and Emergency Personnel: Stand out of the way
of staff and other personnel as they work to manage
the incident.
Weapons: Possession or use of firearms, fireworks
(including sparklers and smoke bombs), explosives,
or dangerous or flammable chemicals of any kind
are strictly prohibited in any DHRL facility or in the
surrounding vicinity. This includes, but is not limited to,
firearms, ammunition, BB or pellet guns, air soft guns,
weapons for sport (including paint ball guns, bow and
arrows, diving knives, hunting weapons), stun guns,
swords, switchblades, knives, slingshots, martial arts
or medieval weapons, and flammables (liquids, solvents,
gases). In the case of weapons, the possession or use of
certain items may violate state or federal law and cause
violators to be subject to arrest. This includes “toys”
that look like actual weapons.
EMERGENCY FIRE PROCEDUREs AT PEGAsUs LANDING AND PEGAsUs POINTEFires can present a serious problem in apartment
communities. Though damage is usually confined to
property destruction, the loss of personal items or of
life is a possibility.
Pegasus Pointe and Pegasus Landing management
highly recommend residents obtaining renter’s
insurance to protect against such losses. Fires are often
started through carelessness with cooking, matches
and cigarettes. Many fires can be avoided by using
caution and common sense.
As an added precautionary measure, the apartments
have placed Fire Stop fire extinguishers above each
stovetop. These extinguishers are equipped with
magnetic fasteners and are made to attach to the hood
of a stove. These extinguishers should be placed in a
central location between the front and back burner on
either side, so that in the event of a fire, the contents
will fall evenly on both burners. Please be aware that
there is also a fire extinguisher located in the kitchen,
as well. To learn how to operate these devices, contact
a Resident Assistant.
18
Prevention: Prevention is the best insurance against
fire. Pegasus Landing and Pegasus Pointe recommends
that residents take these simple safety precautions in
apartments to prevent fires from starting:
1. Never leave cooking, appliances in use (such as irons
or hair strengtheners), or cigarettes unattended
2. Let cooking grease cool and then pour into a metal
can. Never pour hot grease into a plastic container
3. Never misuse lighters or matches
4. Avoid cooking while intoxicated, taking medication,
or tired
5. Test smoke detector(s) monthly to make sure they
are working
6. Do not store gas-operated tools or vehicles
(motorcycles) inside the apartment or in or on
stairwells, breezeways, patios or balconies
7. Never burn candles or use halogen lamps or
cheap extension cords
8. Never overload extension cords or outlets
9. Always use electrical items for their intended
purposes only
10. Keep curtains and other materials 12 inches from
any outlet
11. Always keep the apartment free of clutter
12. Always evacuate if the building alarm sounds
smoke Detectors: If a fire occurs, smoke detectors
alert residents immediately so they can exit the
building safely. If residents notice smoke detector(s)
are beeping, they should notify the management
office immediately, so that proper maintenance can be
performed. They should not disable the smoke detector.
Disabling or removing a smoke detector, including
removing working batteries, is a violation of the law. It
is the responsibility of the resident to replace batteries
in the smoke detector after they move into the
apartment. Residents at Pegasus Pointe should contact
407-384-6800, or visit the office immediately, if they
need assistance. Residents at Pegasus Landing should
contact 407-362-5036, or visit the office immediately, if
they need assistance.
Smoke detectors and fire extinguishers should be
checked on the first of each month. To ensure that the
fire extinguisher is in operable condition, check that the
expiration date has not arrived, the pin is securely in
place, and the gauge reads full. The date punched on
the yellow tag indicates the date of the extinguisher’s
last inspection, not the expiration date. All fire
extinguishers are due for inspection one year from the
date of the last inspection. If residents are concerned
about the status of fire safety equipment, they can
submit a maintenance work order with maintenance
and they will check the equipment.
If Fire strikes: In the event of a fire, contact the local
fire department by dialing 911, and pull a fire alarm
station to notify others to evacuate.
Do not rush out into the hallway. First, feel the door.
If it is hot, use another way out. If the door is cool, leave
by the nearest exit.
Smoke rises, so the cleanest air is near the floor. If the
planned escape route becomes smoky, crawl out of the
building on hands and knees.
If escaping the apartment is not possible, stuff wet
towels, sheets and clothes around the door and vents
to keep smoke out. Call 911 and give them the location.
If no smoke is coming into the room, open a window
slightly. Stay low, yell and wave a bright cloth, towel or
sheet out a window to signal the location of the fire. By
accepting the responsibility to keep apartments safe
from fire, residents are not only protecting themselves,
but their neighbors, as well. With only minimal planning
and awareness, residents can make the difference
between safety and disaster for everyone.
smoking: Smoking is permitted inside apartments,
with permission of all tenants. In the event that there
becomes a conflict between tenants about smoking
within the apartment, the unit will default to a smoke-
free environment.
Weapons, Fireworks and Other Dangerous Items: Possession or use of firearms, fireworks (including
sparklers and smoke bombs), explosives, or dangerous
or flammable chemicals of any kind are strictly
prohibited in any facility or in the surrounding
vicinity. This includes, but is not limited to, firearms,
ammunition, BB or pellet guns, air soft guns, weapons
for sport (including paint ball guns, bow and arrows,
diving knives, hunting weapons), stun guns, swords,
switchblades, knives, slingshots, martial arts or
medieval weapons, and flammables (liquids, solvents,
gases). In the case of weapons, the possession or use of
certain items may violate state or federal law and cause
violators to be subject to arrest. This includes “toys”
that look like actual weapons.

1. Always roll your windows up and lock
your car.
2. Don’t leave valuables in plain view. Items
left in the open attract thieves. Store
them in your trunk if necessary.
3. Engrave expensive accessories, such as
car stereos and speaker systems, with
your drivers’ license number. This aids
the police in tracing the stolen items.
4. Never leave your vehicle running and
unattended.
5. Install an antitheft device that is highly
visible, hard to defeat and renders
the car inoperable.
6. Drop a business card or address label
in the map pockets of your doors.
7. Don’t hide a spare key.
8. Don’t leave important papers such
as bank statements, credit card
statements, and other important
documents in your car.
9. Photocopy your registration and
insurance information and keep it in a
safe place other than your vehicle.
10. Most importantly, be crime-wise.
Think of what you can do to protect
your belongings ahead of time before
you become a victim. Don’t become
complacent.
