More Information
Emergency Blue Light Phones
Emergency phones with a blue light on top provide direct contact to a police dispatcher and can be found throughout the main campus, as well as the Downtown, Rosen and Health Sciences campuses. They’re in every level of every campus parking garage and on poles around the campuses. When you activate the red button on these phones, you’ll be connected with a UCF Police Department dispatcher and a police officer will respond as needed.
UCF Alert
UCF Alerts are emergency text messages, emails and other communications issued by campus safety officials. Alerts notify of an emergency – such as severe weather, criminal activity or an armed threat – and provide general instructions. Depending on the nature of the emergency, follow-up alerts will contain more detailed information. More updates will be shared on Twitter @UCF and @UCFPolice.
Update your contact information on myUCF via the student or employee self-service tab. Add a parent, spouse or other secondary contact’s email address so they will also receive updates.

Employee Assistance Program
The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a free, confidential benefit that offers the support and resources you need to address any personal challenges or concerns. The EAP provides in-person, telephone or video counseling with licensed professionals for grief, depression and other issues; support for issues such as adoption, childcare, eldercare, financial & legal issues, identity theft, and more; and expert negotiators who assist with lowering medical bills.
Safety at UCF Downtown
