Laptop Registration

DPS provides a laptop registration program designed to deter computer thefts and facilitate recovery should a computer be lost or stolen. This program “S.T.O.P” (Security Tracking of Office Property), is to assist DPS in locating your laptop incase of a theft or the loss of your device. Computers are permanently marked with a patented security plate bearing a unique bar code ID number, which is entered into a national asset tracking software program. Underneath the plate, an indelible tattoo is etched into the computer case, which if removed, displays a stolen property message.

Bicycles are registered throughout the academic year. A locked bicycle cage, available to students, is located on the P-1 level of the Gewirz Student Center. The McDonough hall also has a bicycle area available for the use to both Gewirz resident Students and non-resident students.
