Student Medical Emergency Response Procedures

Medical Emergencies

If a student is experiencing a medical-related emergency and/or is unconscious and/or unresponsive during class, instructors should contact UPD (585-245-5222) or 911. AED’s, stop-the-bleed kits, and Narcan are available in AED boxes (locations vary by building).

Geneseo First Response (GFR) will respond within minutes and conduct an assessment. Students can refuse medical attention once emergency personnel arrive. If a student proactively indicates they do not want emergency personnel to be called or provides medical documentation recommending not to contact emergency personnel, instructors must still contact UPD or 911 in the event of an emergency.ÌýÌý

If a student’s medical concerns are ongoing and they require accommodations, students may be referred to the Office of Accessibility Services (access@geneseo.edu; 585-245-5112). 

Mental Health Emergencies

If you receive information from a student indicating they may be at risk to themselves or others, contact UPD or 911 immediately. 

If the student demonstrates active mental health concerns, but is not an imminent safety risk, walk-in services at Lauderdale Counseling Center are available Monday through Friday, 11:00am-3:30m. More information on health crisis and emergency resources after-hours is available on the Counseling Center webpage. 

After connecting the student to UPD or Lauderdale, submit a detailing your interaction and concerns. Email campuscareteam@geneseo.edu for assistance in submitting this form or follow-up information regarding your referral. 

Emergency Evacuation

If a student indicates they require assistance with emergency evacuation due to a disability, please direct them to the Office of Accessibility Services (access@geneseo.edu; 585-245-5112).
