Emergencies

Student health and safety is the shared responsibility of everyone in our community. It is imperative that student organization leaders and members know how to respond in case of an emergency.

1. Call 9-1-1 (or 9-911 from a campus phone).
2. Call the Undergraduate Resident Director on Call at 650.504.8022 or the Graduate Dean via the GLO pager at 650.723.7288. You will reach a Stanford operator. Provide pager ID #25085 and indicate that you need to reach the graduate dean-on-call.
3. Notify your corresponding campus advisor via email within 48 hours of the incident with the including important details (who, what where, when, why) to the following email addresses, using “SECURE:” in the subject line:
   1. OSE
   2. FSL Advisor
   3. Departmental sponsor or other designated advisor

Student organizations should be aware of the Good Samaritans (Part E.) clause in the Student Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy which states that student organizations seeking medical treatment for someone for the effects of drug or alcohol use will not be subject to disciplinary action with respect to the use of drugs or alcohol in violation of university policy. Educational programs can still be required. 

The Good Samaritan provisions of this policy do not preclude disciplinary action regarding other violations of University standards, such as causing or threatening physical harm, sexual misconduct or abuse, damage to property, harassment, hazing, or violations of this policy related to distribution of alcohol or drugs, but may be considered a mitigating factor in any disciplinary action.
