Emergency, Safety, & Security Information
Your safety and well-being are our top priorities. This page provides essential emergency contacts, crisis support resources, and health emergency information to ensure you have quick access to help when needed. If you’re facing an urgent situation, please reach out to the appropriate resource immediately.
For life-threatening emergencies, call 911 for immediate help or go to the nearest hospital emergency room.
Winter weather updates, including campus closures and class cancellations, are shared through Rave Alert email and text messages. When a campus closure or class cancellation is under consideration, a team of University leaders carefully evaluates a variety of factors and will only cancel classes when absolutely necessary. For more information, visit the BW University Advisory page.
