Emergency Situations Requiring Student Access

On occasion, a personal emergency may require you be contacted quickly. Since the Keele campus of the University comprises some 578 acres, 60 buildings, 275 classrooms, seminar rooms and lecture halls, and has a population of more than 50,000, no campus-wide public address system can be provided. The Security Control Centre, once satisfied, will only consider contacting a student in class when a request is deemed urgent or life-threatening.

Limited physical resources and associated constraints make it impossible to guarantee contact.

Students are urged to provide those who may need to be reached in an emergency with an up-to-date copy of their class timetable, specifying days, times and locations.
