Please do not enter the fenced areas other than via the entry points noted in green on the map and be aware of moving and noisy machinery in the works area.

With daylight saving beginning soon, it’s a good time to check you’re ready in case of emergency.

A few quick questions:

  • Have you saved UC Security’s number in your phone?

UC Security staff are on campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so someone will always be there to help you in an emergency at UC. Be prepared by saving UC Security’s number: 0800 823 637.

  • Are your emergency contact details current?

It’s easy to update your details through myUC. Take a moment to check the person you’ve listed as your emergency contact is still appropriate, and their details are still correct. While you’re logged in to myUC you can also check your details are up-to-date (especially if you’ve moved recently), in case someone from UC needs to reach out to you.

  • Do you know about UC’s Help point towers?

There are 13 help towers (topped by blue lights) located across UC’s Ilam and Dovedale campuses to provide information any time, and immediate assistance in an emergency. Read more>
