Emergency Response
The university maintains an emergency response system that will assist students in times of need.
During any emergency, crisis or time of need, seconds count. If assistance is needed immediately or the situation is potentially life threatening, students should call 9-1-1. Emergency personnel will respond.
For non-emergency assistance, students can call 336-278-5555. Students should be prepared to provide:
- Name
- Location
- Phone number
- Brief nature of the emergency
The campus safety and police communications office will dispatch appropriate emergency personnel and/or the Student Life Emergency Staff Member to respond.
