As you prepare to leave BG for the winter break (or for students not leaving home for the break), I want to encourage you to consider the tips and reminders listed below.
1. Don't forget to register for spring 2010 semester!
2. Security Tips: The reality is that break-ins and theft increase over extended university breaks.
o Update your contact information in MyBGSU.
o Take valuables with you over break.
o Take pictures of other valuables.
o Consider closing your window shades or blinds.
o Put lights on an automatic timer.
o Lock the doors.
o Notify the post-office to hold your mail.
3. Energy Efficiency and Safety Ideas
o Don't turn your heat off! Keep it above 55 degrees.
o Unplug non-essential electrical appliances.
4. "House" Cleaning
o Make arrangements for snow removal from sidewalks.
o Remove perishable food from your refrigerator and cabinets.
o Heavy Item Pick-up from the City begins Dec. 28.
