·
Dial 600, the college emergency phone number, from any campus phone.·
Go to the switchboard operator.·
Use the emergency phones in any elevator on campus.·
Use the Area of Rescue Assistance call boxes located on the third floor of buildings A, B, C, D, and E.·
Use the emergency call boxes located in parking lots 1, 2, and 5 and the turnaround in front of the main entrance to the college, or the call boxes located on the walkway to the east campus and by the edge of the driveway to the agriculture building on the east campus.When placing the call, give your location and the nature of the medical emergency.
"It is important to remember that First Responders should be called in the event of medical emergencies only," said coordinator Ron Groleau.
