It is worth noting that persistent noise complaints will lead to disciplinary action. If problems do arise speak to your SRAs with all the flatmates and resolve any difficulties early on.

WITH OVER 18,000 PEOPLE ON CAMPUS, OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT IS QUITE LARGE, SO WEVE GOT A SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL PLAN TO KEEP IT DOWN. BIKES Youll find plenty of bike sheds around the campus and also at Hillhead. If you are living at Crombie Johnston contact us about getting access to the bike sheds. Make sure you lock your bike up and add it to your insurance just in case someone takes a shine to it. Keep a note of the frame number, colour and make. Dont store your bike inside or obstruct the entrances. If you do well move it and youll have to pay to get it back. MOTORBIKES Dont ride motorbikes on the paths. Any repairs, do it in one of the car parks and dont park in or against the buildings or near emergency access. BY BUS The No 20 bus takes you from the city centre, past Crombie Johnston and into the heart of Campus then onto Hillhead. The No 19 is ideal for the Zoology building, QML, Meston and Fraser Noble into Union Street. The No 1 and 2 on King Street also takes you from Campus into town. The no. 6 also links Hillhead, Old Aberdeen and Foresterhill. WALK Loads of places in Aberdeen are within easy walking distance. Take care during dark nights and walk in groups rather than alone its more fun that way as well as being safer.

CARS ON CAMPUS In line with the Universitys policy on car parking, student parking is available at the Butchart Building. For more details on car parking charges and how to apply for a permit please visit www.abdn.ac.uk/estates/ supportservices/car_parking. Parking Charge Notices (PCN) of 60 may be issued to vehicles parked in contravention of the parking regulations. PARKING AT HILLHEAD For more details on car parking charges and how to apply for a permit please visit www.abdn.ac.uk/estates/ supportservices/car_parking. You must apply for a parking permit once you have arrived which must be displayed in your windscreen at all times no permit, no parking! Cars parked on site are at owners risk and we do not accept liability for damage or theft. Parking Charge Notices (PCN) of 60 may be issued to vehicles parked in contravention of the parking regulations. TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS Observe the one way system. Stick to the 10 mph speed limit. Keep all roads clear for emergency vehicles and public transport. Observe parking and double yellow lines.

If you have to go to hospital via ambulance or taxi, the porter will make a note so that, if you want, the SRA can email your advisor/supervisor to let them know that you may not be in class. If you call an ambulance, make sure that you inform a member of staff so that they can meet the Ambulance and take them directly to your location. NEED A DENTIST? Need help to access NHS dental services in Grampian? Call 08454 56 59 90 Open 9am to 4pm, Monday to Friday.

Its no smoking in the University buildings and if you dont fancy standing out in the rain you could have a chat to your new GP about ways to stop. You can speak to them about any other issues that might be a bit sensitive, like STDs, depression, drinking or diet.

HEALTH

And when it comes to diet you can be sure to get a hearty healthy meal from one many of the tasty places to eat on campus. Its hard to avoid the issue of drugs these days. If you are concerned about drug use, want to talk to someone or just want some advice you can talk to your SRA, Student Advice & Support Office or the University Counselling Service located in the Hub.

OUT AND ABOUT Be sensible about when and where you walk. Behave as you would do at home and dont take lifts from people you dont know. Be alert when walking up lanes alone, especially after dark or on your way back to Campus after a night out. If you are going to Hillhead, the quickest route to the campus is via St Machar Drive and Don Street. The elevated walkway was put there to keep you safe so make sure you use it. HILLHEAD RESIDENTS Remember that cars drive on the left hand side of the road in the UK. The cycle lane on Don Street (on the left hand side of the road) is only for use of bicycles going up the hill to Hillhead. KEEP TO THE lEFT WHEN USING All ROADS. Seaton Park is beautiful but make sure you appreciate it in the day time and dont find yourself in there at night, especially after a few drinks. Stick to the pavements. Wandering in the road with a group of friends is not wise. If youd rather get the bus, you can catch one from the high street. SITE SAFETY Although we have CCTV its important to keep your eyes open for anyone who looks suspicious, especially when youre going into Halls and someone is coming through the door behind you who may not be a resident. Especially at Hillhead, where there are lots of different entrances and residents.

PERSONAL SAFETY AND SECURITY Its important to keep your eyes open for anyone who looks suspicious, especially when youre going into Halls and someone is coming through the door behind you who may not be a resident. Dont let strangers into your building. If the caller is not for you, dont let them in. Please telephone the Porter if you think there is anyone suspicous on site. Plan ahead. Dont walk home alone at night - arrange in advance to stay with a friend or pre-book a taxi. Beware of drink spiking. Never leave your drink unattended. Drink responsibly, know your limit. Being under the influence of alcohol is no excuse for criminal or antisocial behaviour. Be alert when withdrawing cash from ATMs. Report anything suspicious about the cash machine immediately to the bank or police. Look after your wallet too. Make sure you return your room key at the end of term, or when you terminate your contract. If you go away for the weekend, you can leave your key at reception or porters desk - even if you are out for the evening. If you do lose your keys let reception know straight away so they can sort out a replacement set. Try not to let it happen though because we will have to charge you.

FIRE SAFETY

FIRE INSTRUCTIONS Fire instructions are attached to your room door. Its probably best to READ THEM NOW instead of waiting till theyre actually on fire. It is your responsibility to know where the nearest fire exits and assembly points are, as well as break glass points and fire fighting equipment. Check out the signs on the back of your doors which has all this information on it. SMOKE DETECTORS All Fire/Heat/Smoke/CO detectors are designed to provide early warning of a fire and the slightest waft of smoke will set them off, so dont keep burning the toast or your house mates might put a ban on bread. But do not cover the smoke detectors either - they may save your life! Heres a few ideas to avoid setting the alarms off: Close the kitchen/pantry door if theres going to be any fumes or smoke while you are cooking. Dont use electrical kitchen items in rooms other than kitchens or pantries (so no hotplates in your bedroom or sandwich toasters on the stairs). CHECK OUT THE FIRE SAFETY DVD ON YOUR INDUCTION WWW.ABDN.AC.UK/EACCOMMODATION

INTERFERENCE WITH OR MISUSE OF FIRE SAFETY EQUIPMENT It is a criminal act to interfere with, misuse or remove any such equipment: Fire extinguishers Fire alarm systems Smoke detectors (including covering up) Break glass alarm call points Fire exit signs

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM Here are some simple guidelines to help prevent fires: Never cook after drinking alcohol (thats what the kebab shops are for) Never leave cooking unattended (its a hazard and other hungry students may take advantage) Keep kitchen doors closed at all times Never overfill any pan (hold back on those supermarket value beans) Never overload plugs, make sure extension cables are suited to the appliances you have plugged in and ALWAYS use UK approved adaptors for international appliances Ensure leads and flexes are in good condition Check the fuse is the right size for the appliance Unplug electrical appliances that are not designed to be left on, before going to bed and when going out Switch off your electric blanket before going to bed if it is not designed to remain on. Smoking is not allowed in university accommodation and will result in disciplinary action and charges for additional cleaning and redecorating. No Candles or Fairy lights are allowed in University accommodation. CHECK OUT THE FIRE SAFETY DVD ON YOUR INDUCTION WWW.ABDN.AC.UK/ EACCOMMODATION

IF YOU DISCOVER A FIRE: 1. Whilst exiting the building immediately break the glass over the nearest fire alarm button. 2. Go to the nearest telephone and dial (9)999. 3. When the Fire Brigade answers, say Fire at (Crombie Johnston/ Hillhead/Elphinstone block, room or flat) and give full address details. 4. Go to your assembly point. The porters deal with all fire alarm activations - pass on any information you have about the fire to them. If smoke is emerging from a closed door, never open the door to investigate, follow the procedures above. ON HEARING THE ALARM IN YOUR OWN BLOCK: 1. Close the window and door of your room. 2. Leave the building quickly, but without running. 3. Go immediately to your assembly point and await further instructions from the portering staff. 4. Remain at the Assembly Point until dismissed, or instructed to proceed elsewhere. ASSEMBLY POINTS ARE DETAILED IN FULL ON THE BACK OF YOUR DOOR.

FIRE SAFETY

These are all there to protect life and property. Tampering with fire equipment can result in a fine of 250. Always set off the fire alarm if you think theres a fire. But ONLY if there is. Setting off the alarm for any other reason will get you into serious trouble with the University, the Fire Brigade and the Police. Routine inspection of extinguishers is carried out on a weekly basis so dont tamper with anything or youll get charged for a replacement. PREVENTING FIRES It should be obvious, but dont put stuff in front of the Fire Escape Routes. Dont store your traffic cones, trolleys, overflowing bins and bicycles anywhere in the corridors. Dont fit exercise bars on doorways. They get in the way if theres a fire and no one wants to watch your sweaty attempts at exercise. SMOKING IS NOT AllOWED IN UNIVERSITy ACCOMMODATION AND WIll RESUlT IN DISCIPlINARy ACTION AND CHARGES FOR ADDITIONAl ClEANING AND REDECORATING. See pages 36-37 for a full list of charges.

ALCOHOL Alcohol is something to be enjoyed and a lot of students certainly do enjoy it! However, it is good to be aware of the guidelines and the risks so that you can choose for yourself how much you want to drink. Plan ahead. Dont walk home alone at night - arrange in advance to stay with a friend or pre-book a taxi. Beware of drink spiking. Never leave your drink unattended. Drink responsibly, know your limit. Being under the influence of alcohol is no excuse for criminal or antisocial behaviour. Dont be afraid to ask for help and try to do what you can to avoid liver damage, STDs and pregnancy. Its just about using a bit of common sense really but a good place to go for advice, information and free condoms is the Student Association Info & Advice Centre. In addition you can request to see the Duty SRA or manager who will be totally non-judgemental and supportive. TAlK TO FRANK AT WWW.TAlKTOFRANK.COM KNOW THE SCORE WWW.KNOWTHESCORE.INFO

DRUGS We in no way condone drug use however it would be foolish to assume that this never happens. Should you find yourself in a position where drugs are, or have been taken, it is important to know what to do. Not only do drugs affect your health, but it can also affect your criminal record. Most drugs are illegal, and if you are caught abusing them, or supplying them, then you are at risk of facing legal action. The Misuse of Drugs Act states that both POSSESSION and SUPPLYING of controlled drugs is illegal. Know the Score - Aberdeen Royal Infirmary have been treating an increasing number of patients who have taken substances like NRG-1, MCAT and Ivory Wave. Common physical symptoms have included increased blood pressure, heart rate and temperature, abnormal and uncontrollable muscle movement and sweating. Psychological symptons are common and severe, including agitation, anxiety and paranoia. These symptoms appear to persist for a prolonged period after taking the legal high drugs and in some cases several days and has resulted in a number of patients requiring hospital admission.
