Emergency Response

UF’s threat assessment and management team that determines if a student, faculty, staff member or visitor is a potential threat to others or to themselves and/or disruptive to the environment. In those cases, a multi-disciplinary team assesses the risk and seeks to mitigate that risk.

Each Emergency Dean takes on-call responsibility 24 hours per day for one full week at a time as the immediate response to any student related night time or weekend emergency issue. Duties include responding immediately to the hospital to be with a student until family arrives, managing support for students, and working with the Dean of Students and Associate/Assistant Deans during more serious issues.

The Dean of Students Office maintains an on-call system to assist members of the University community with emergencies. During the business day, the Dean of Students Office may be reached at (352)392-1261. After hours and on weekends, individuals are encouraged to contact the University Police (352)392-1111 to request assistance. If it is necessary for the Dean of Students Office to be contacted at that point, University Police will make appropriate arrangements.
