Public Safety's “Shredder” & “Identity Track” programs
Students, faculty and staff may take advantage of Public Safety’s Shredder program—FREE! You may bring your personal documents or old credit cards to the Public Safety Office in room 111 Low Library, 24 hrs. a day, and shred them yourself. Or, if you would prefer to purchase a shredder of your own, cross-type shredders are highly recommended. Public Safety also offers Identity Track, a comprehensive suite of tools that helps you proactively monitor, manage and protect your valuable credit and identity information. This comprehensive service can help you detect and respond quickly to fraudulent activity. You may pick up an application at the Public Safety office on either Campus or apply online.
