It is University policy to have an officer from the Office of Public Safety respond to every emergency call. Each office has a protocol it follows that outlines appropriate responses to campus emergencies. The Office of Student Life also has established procedures to secure help in responding to a criminal act or emergency. All emergencies and criminal acts are reviewed soon after they occur by the Dean of Students Office, which provides appropriate University follow-up, support or possible disciplinary action.
Counselors are also available to serve as student advocates within the campus community.
