Emergency Care

Dial 911 or 9-911 from any campus phone.

Notice: As soon as convenient, students should inform their Resident Assistant (RA) when medical emergencies occur involving residential students. A student always retains the right to be transported by ambulance to the hospital. If a student is hurt or sick and requests an ambulance or the Residence Education staff deems necessary, dial 911 immediately for emergency assistance. RA’s or GRD’s are not allowed to transport sick or injured students.

Non-Emergency Care: (minor injuries or illness)

Day Time: During the day, residential students needing to see a physician can obtain treatment by contacting one of the following facilities:
