What Should I do in an Emergency?

Report an emergency by phone

Note: During a widespread emergency, wireless networks and landlines can become overloaded making calls difficult, impossible or delayed.

From a mobile phone

  • Dial 911 to call the nearest law enforcement dispatcher
  • Dial 415-338-2222 to call the University Police Department (UPD)

From a campus phone

  • Dial 911 from any campus landline or emergency phone to reach UPD

Emergency phones and callboxes

Students walk by a SFSU Emergency Phone near the Student Center.

Emergency phones are monitored 24/7. You can find them throughout campus buildings, parking lots and pathways. Emergency Phones are labeled on the SFSU campus map with an E symbol.
