Emergency Services on Campus
In case of an emergency, dial "2300" for the Campus Safety Office from any campus phone. A campus safety officer may be called to your location to assist and determine proper care for your injury/illness in an emergency if needed. An ambulance may be called for transport if other arrangements are not appropriate or able to be arranged.
Emergency Contraception
In accordance with Illinois HB 3709, community colleges are required to dispense emergency contraception, which can significantly reduce the risk of pregnancy if taken within 72 hours after unprotected sexual intercourse. Levonorgestrel (“Plan B”) is available in a vending machine located on the 1st floor of the Math Building, immediately inside the single exterior door near the McPike Commons concrete sign (off the parking lot between the Math Building and the River Bend Arena). The vending machine only takes cash (bills only), does not give change, and is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The cost is $10.
