University of Texas at Austin: What happens if there is a medical emergency in the residence hall?
DIRECT ANSWER
Call 911. Hall staff can assist on site, but emergency medical response should not wait on a housing contact.
UT's UHS and residence-hall safety guidance both direct students to 911 for an emergency. Residence-hall staff are present around the clock and can assist with building access, response coordination or other resident needs, but 911 is the first call for an immediate medical or safety emergency.
