There are three types of emergency phones on campus:
- Emergency phones with blue lights
- Call box emergency phones
- Residence hall/courtesy phones
All emergency telephones, when activated, are in direct contact with Police Services and should be used to report a criminal incidence, fire, illness, suspicious person, or any other type of emergency.
In addition, local pay phones can be used to reach emergency services by dialing 911; no coin is needed.
Use of Emergency Phones
To use any of the emergency phones, push the Red button labeled "EMERGENCY" and you will be connected to an emergency dispatcher.
