Emergency and Crisis

If you know about a crime or any suspicious activity, please report it as soon as possible. Telling an authority about crimes and suspicious activity helps keep you and other members of the UB community safer.

Even when problems seem overwhelming and too difficult to handle, there is always someone here to listen, offer support and help you through a crisis.

Being part of the UB community means that we take care of one another, especially when someone needs help. If you are concerned about a student and not sure where to turn, the Dean of Students Office is here to assist.

If any of these signs occur, get help — don’t do it alone. Alcohol poisoning and drug overdoses can lead to death. Stay with the person until help arrives.

If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, it’s important to get help as soon as possible. Professionals trained in crisis intervention are available free to UB students, and can help guide you through what services are available, so you can choose what happens next.

If you’ve been affected by a crime, we’re here to help you make a report and connect to supportive resources.

Unanticipated circumstances can prevent students from continuing their education and achieving academic success. UB has unique resources to connect students to emergency funding. 

Consistent access to food is a necessary part of being a successful, healthy student. Should you experience an unanticipated hardship or emergency, we can help connect you to groceries.
