Please make sure you have a company and avoid going to the remote blind spot in the campus alone to ensure your personal safety. Do not leave the campus too late; never walk on dark, small lanes or places that are hard for people to get to alone, as well as access to dangerous places.
    2. If encountering a stranger or finding any suspicious person inside or outside the campus, students shall report to teachers immediately or run fast to a place with more people. When walking through remote and dark lanes, please pay attention to whether you are followed by any unknown person. Students shall bring personal protective items at all times, such as pepper spray or whistles for unexpected needs.
  2. Drug abuse prevention:
    1. The emerging mixed drugs cause greater danger and fatality rate:  http://enc.moe.edu.tw/Home/Drugs.
    2. During winter break, students shall maintain normal and regular lifestyle. Do not rely on drugs to refresh yourself, do not use any non-prescribed medication, and refuse any addictive substance. When participating in gatherings and activities, make sure you pay extra attention and do not accept any item and drink from a stranger.
    3. If you use any drug by mistake, please seek help from Family Education Center at each county or city (hotline: 412-8185) or from Drug Hazard Control Center (drug rehabilitation hotline: 0800-770-885).
  3. Fraud prevention:

    2. When using the online chatting APP (such as Line), do not disclose your account and password to avoid being stolen by criminals for fraud and becoming the victim of fraud.
    3. Criminals often use small payment mechanism for fraud and even activate small payment service on behalf of the victim before sending out the fraud text message for collection verification. The more caution you have, the more protection you get. It is suggested students shall apply to the telecommunications company to turn off the function of small payment on the mobile phone, and do not receive text message on behalf of other people.
    4. Three steps for anti-fraud: “keep calm”, “check carefully”, and “call police immediately or call 165 anti-fraud consultation hotline for help”.
    5. Turn off the function of “allowing other device to log in” on the mobile phone to reduce the probability of being misappropriated. When receiving a text message from relatives or friends through a communication software for money borrowing, please do check with the other party face-to-face or on the phone. Do not transfer any money before confirming the actual situation to avoid falling for it.
