Accidents

Driving or biking carefully on campus makes things easier for everyone. If you do have an accident on campus or in one of the campus parking lots, call the University Police Department at 303-492-6666.

Emergencies

In case of an emergency, call 911 to reach the fire and police departments or for ambulance or rescue services. You can call 9-1-1 from any telephone, including public pay telephones, without inserting a coin.

Persons who are deaf or hard of hearing should call 9-1-1 from a TTY/TDD telephone to reach the University Police Department or City of Boulder Police Department.

You can also text to 911 in Boulder County. While this is a possibility, it is slower and only recommended during those times when it is not safe for you to speak because of an immediate threat
