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 disruptive to the environment. In those cases, a multi-disciplinary team assesses the risk and seeks to mitigate that risk.

More information is available on the UF Threat Assessment website.

Staff from the UF Division of Student Life serve as the Emergency Dean On-Call. Each Emergency Dean takes on-call responsibility for one week at a time, with 24/7 coverage, as the first tier to any student related night time or weekend emergency issue with duties including responding immediately to the hospital to be with a student until family arrives, managing on-site 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, University Police will make appropriate arrangements.
