Safety, security and emergency

Campus security and emergency

In an emergency call 911.

• Call 911 from any phone, but if you can call from a campus phone, Campus Security will be automatically notified of the call location. A phone is located in every classroom.
• If you are unsure if it is an emergency, always err on the side of caution.
• When you call 911 you will be asked if you need police, fire or ambulance, and then what is happening and the location.
