In case of acute illness or an emergency accident
For medical emergencies (e.g., loss of consciousness, cardiac arrest, seizure, head injury, serious fall or fractures, excessive bleeding), the victim or a bystander should first call 911 emergency response system. Campus Safecty (843-3333) and Residence Life staff (843-3241) should be called immediately after 911.
The Health Center staff will assist with emergencies during office hours. Campus Safety and Health Center Staff members are certified in CPR, First Aid, and will render care until an ambulance arrives.
If you need help with transportation to a medical facility after hours, you should contact the Campus Safety Office or a Residence Life staff ember on duty. The list of staff on call is posted in every residence hall. For liability reasons, staff will transport only if there are no other options for transportation.
