Emergency Information & Planning

Disruptive Behavior

Contact St. Cloud Police (911) and/or SCSU Public Safety (320-308-3333), in the event of student crisis situations.  That office will make appropriate contacts and referrals. 

Student Crises Include (but are not limited to):

• Alcohol and other drug use emergencies (could be medical emergency)
• Mental health/behavioral incidents or concerns
• Aberrant, dangerous or threatening behavior
• Sexual assault
• Threats to public welfare

YOU SHOULD:

1. Remain calm. Your reaction to the situation can provoke the individual(s)
2. Identify if the situation is placing anyone in immediate danger; if not, a complaint should be filed with Public Safety, Residential Life (if appropriate), Office of Student Life & Development or Women’s Center.
