Emory University: What should my student do if they become seriously sick or injured in the dorm?

By CollegeHousing.ai · Sources checked · 2026-27

DIRECT ANSWER

For a serious or life-threatening illness or injury, call 911; for urgent campus help, use Emory’s emergency resources and Student Health guidance.

Emory Student Health Services directs students to 911 for life-threatening emergencies and publishes campus emergency and after-hours options, including Emory Police/Emergency Medical Services and nurse/clinical resources. Residence Life staff can help with the housing side of an incident, but emergency medical care should not wait for a housing-office response.
