Emergency/Information Phones
You may have noticed the "pole phones" located across our campus. If you need assistance, push the button, and you will be connected immediately to someone in the Communications Center. Also, each elevator on campus is equipped with an emergency phone. If you accidentally trigger the button be sure to let the dispatcher know that there is no emergency at that time.
Visit us at our department located across from Bud Walton Arena in the Administrative Services Building, the same building as Transit and Parking and University IT Services. Our business office is open from 8:15am - 4:30pm, Monday - Friday. Our Communications Center is open 24 hours a day.
