Emergency from a campus phone: 911

Other Ways to Support Campus Safety:
While the impulse to hold open doors for others is admirable, please do so only for people you know to be students or employees.
Rely on the University’s official communication channels and share only verified information.
The Early Bird, the MSU Denver Office of Facilities webpage and the AHEC website will remain the official communication channels regarding campus safety, construction and operations. If you encounter information that has not been verified or shared through these channels, please follow up with questions so we can ensure accuracy.
If you have suggestions for improving campus safety and security, please share them via the President’s Idea Catcher.
