STUDENT HEALTH & SAFETY
The health and safety of our students are our priorities above all else. You can visit the university's emergency preparedness resource site to learn ways to protect yourself in the event of an emergency and understand the tools and resources on campus to help you should you need them. Among the many resources that the university provides, we would like to make you aware of several highly beneficial to you as visiting Aggies.
CODE MAROON: Code Maroon is an emergency notification system that alerts your phone in the event of an active threat to campus. You must enroll to receive these notifications. They are tested routinely at designated times posted on the website.
BLUE EMERGENCY PHONES: There are blue light phones located throughout the Texas A&M campus. These phones are distinguished by the 12-foot pole with the blue light on top and "Police Help" written on the front and sides.
In an emergency, simply open the door on the weatherproof box and press the red button. The University Police dispatcher will immediately know your exact location. Talk directly into the speaker in the center of the phone. A map of the blue phones can be found here.
CORPS ESCORT: The Corps of Cadets Guard Room Escort Program provides a free Corps escort service to Texas A&M students, faculty and staff. When Guard Room operations are conducted, members of the campus community can request a Corps escort on weekdays from 5pm to 7am and 24 hours a day on weekends. The Guard Room is closed on holidays and during final exams. To request a Corps escort, call the Guard Room at 979-845-6789. This number can also be found on the back of your student ID. A member of the Corps of Cadets will meet the person requesting the escort and walk with him/her to on-campus locations on main campus and up to West Campus Garage.
