Lockdown

Buildings may be locked down in case of violent situations on or near campus or for other safety reasons.

What You Should Do

Get to safety.

• Use your judgment based on circumstances. If possible quickly leave the area of risk or hide in a secure building, room, or outdoor space.

Secure yourself as best as you can.

• Lock the door of the room you are occupying.
• Lie on the floor, out of sight and away from windows and doors.
• Place cell phones or pagers on vibrate so that you can receive messages quietly.

What Others Will Do

• External doors will be secured by university staff involved in emergency response.
• The campus will be notified when the lock down is over and/or the situation is resolved.
