From Campus Telephones- Dial 911 |

Important Note: Dialing 911 from a cellular phone will not connect you
immediately to UCSC campus emergency services. To ensure the fastest response
time, announce that you are on the UC Santa Cruz campus as soon as you
are connected so that your call can be transferred as quickly as possible.
Alternately, you may dial (831) 459-2345 to be immediately connected to
campus emergency services.
