In accordance with Article 28 of the Agreement Between the State of New York and United University Professions, Inc., the following is the medical emergency procedure for the Binghamton University campus.

Binghamton University utilizes a campus-wide blue light and 911 emergency telephone system.  Employees, students and visitors may use any blue light telephone, or dial 911 on any campus telephone, to report any kind of emergency, i.e., fire, sudden illness, accident, etc.  This number, along with other pertinent emergency numbers, appears on page one of the University telephone directory.

When using pay telephones, or other non-campus telephones, employees, students and visitors may report campus emergencies by dialing 777-2393.

Blue light telephones and 911 should ONLY be used only to report emergencies.

University Police officers respond to all campus emergencies. Environmental Health and Safety has trained medical personnel available to assist with medical emergencies. They are summoned by University Police as needed. University Police will dispatch an ambulance from Harpur's Ferry Student Volunteer Ambulance Service whenever an ambulance is needed.  If Harpur's Ferry is not available, Broome County Emergency Services will dispatch the nearest available ambulance. If an ambulance is responding from off campus, and EH&S is in service, EH&S should also be notified via radio so medically trained personnel may also respond.

The University Health Service has medical personnel on duty to assist students with medical emergencies from 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday through Friday.  During student vacations, the University Health Service hours are 8:00 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., Monday through Friday.  They are closed on weekends.
