Why call ext. 3717 in case of emergency?

With two campuses and more than 70 buildings, emergency services face challenges locating individuals, especially since many university buildings share the same street address. Campus Safety and Prevention Services (CSPS) can respond swiftly in emergencies. When necessary, our security team will connect you directly with 911, coordinating with emergency services to ensure they are promptly directed to your precise location.

By text message

Text CSPS via the Rave Guardian app.
