Telephones/Call Boxes

Call boxes, located in campus parking lots and on the exteriors of some buildings, provide a direct connection to Public Safety. In-house campus telephones also are located on the exterior entrances to some buildings and throughout interior hallways. Public Safety may be reached on these phones by dialing 6911 for emergencies, or 6053 for routine, or non-emergency calls. When calling Public Safety, clearly state your location and the nature of your call. Remain on the line with the dispatcher until you are advised to hang up.

Emergency Messages

Public Safety will accept emergency messages on your behalf and attempt to locate you on any TTC campus for emergency situations only. Public Safety is not able to page students.

Fire Drills

Unannounced fire drills are conducted on a periodic basis. Faculty members are responsible for monitoring and coordinating the safe evacuation of students during drills or actual emergencies.

Public Safety will respond to provide first aid assistance, and will contact EMS if additional medical treatment is required. Public Safety also maintains Special Medical Attention forms on those individuals who choose to provide their special medical information. These forms, and the information contained on the forms, are only disclosed to medical personnel responding to provide emergency care for the individual concerned. If you have special medical needs, you may want to complete a form at the Pubic Safety office and/or contact Services for Students with Disabilities.
