IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY: Dial x1555 from a college phone or 612.874.3555 from an outside line.

If you would like an escort to a college building or to your parked car, call x1801 from a college phone or 612.874.3801 from an outside line and a public safety officer will assist you. We encourage you to use this service, particularly if you are alone at night.
