Safety, security and emergency

Campus safety is a priority. Learn how to report emergencies and incidents at the Surrey campus.

Campus Security and Emergency

In an emergency, call 911 from a personal phone or a campus phone.

Calling 911 from a campus phone will automatically notify Campus Security will be automatically of the call location. A phone is located in every classroom.
If you are unsure if it is an emergency, always err on the side of caution.
When you call 911 you will be asked if you need police, fire or ambulance, and then what is happening and the location.
