HELP Phones
Approximately 100 yellow 'HELP' phones with
blue lights are located at the entrance to all residence halls and
throughout the campus. These emergency telephones enable you to call
for help at the touch of a button. No dialing or conversation is required.
In case of an emergency - sudden illness,
fire, robbery, assault, or the like - all you have to do is
- Go to the nearest HELP phone.
- Press the red HELP button. A police officer
will be sent to your location at once.
- If you are able to do so, tell the dispatcher
the nature of the emergency.
You can also use the telephones to report
suspicious activity, unusual behavior, or hazardous situations to the
Police.
Look for the yellow HELP phones and
learn their locations along your daily campus route.
