Emergency Messages

KVCC Public Safety Department is the only department on campus that delivers emergency messages to students and staff. The department's criteria for delivering messages are very strict and typically limited to medical emergencies or death in the family.

Medical Emergencies

Students

ALL INJURIES, no matter how minor, that occur on campus must be reported to KVCC Public Safety Department. Public Safety makes a written report documenting how and where the accident occurred. Go in person to the Public Safety Department on either campus, call 269-488-4575 for the Texas Township Campus, 269-373-7939 for the Arcadia Commons Campus, or pick up a RED/BLUE EMERGENCY PHONE to report a medical emergency.

Staff

KVCC staff must report all injuries to their supervisor, and to the KVCC Public Safety Department. The Public Safety Department provides the necessary forms to be completed at the time of injury. These forms are necessary to seek medical treatment due to a work-related injury.
