The red emergency phones on campus provide direct contact with the campus switchboard during the day and the Campus Safety Office during the evening. Red emergency phones are provided in the following buildings: Olin Hall, Miller Hall, Lucas Hall, Trout Hall, Trexler Hall, Life Science Building, Fintel Library, Alumni Gym, West Hall, and Bast Center. Yellow courtesy telephone boxes are located outside residence halls and the Belk Fitness Center. These phones can be used to call any campus telephone number including campus safety.

Campus Safety also provides escorts and assistance to motorists on campus at no charge.
