University of California, Santa Cruz: What should my student do if they become seriously sick or injured in the dorm?
DIRECT ANSWER
For a life-threatening emergency call 911; for non-emergency illness the student should use campus health resources and tell residential staff if help is needed.
Residence staff can help a student connect with support, while UCSC Police/911 handle emergencies. If illness prevents a resident from going to the dining hall, UCSC Dining's Buddy Meal program provides a separate food-access option.
