Emergency 911 is accessible from any phone on campus including your cell phone. 911 calls are answered by dispatchers in our communications center who can send police, fire or ambulance services to your location within minutes. While most people use their cell phones to dial 911, there are also over 40 "blue light phones" located around campus in parking lots and along sidewalks that you can use in the event of an emergency. In addition to calling 911, the blue light phones also contain a list of useful numbers to include: Parking Services, University Housing, Stadium Shuttle, and PARTA/Campus Bus Service. They can also be used to dial any number on campus.
