Instructors should notify University Police in the event of any emergency requiring the police, the fire department or paramedic/ambulance assistance.

Instructors should note the location of all exits, fire alarm switches, fire escapes, and fire extinguishers in the building (s) where they teach. In the event of fire, if possible, instructors should activate an alarm switch and call University Police. Instructors should also direct all students to the stairwells, as the elevators will lock automatically.

If an instructor becomes ill or injured while working, and are able to go to their own physician, they should notify University Police and the SCS office within 24 hours. If immediate attention is required they should proceed to the appropriate campus medical facility.
