Student Emergencies

The Office of the Vice Provost for Student Affairs coordinates the University response to campus and individual student emergencies. The Office of the Vice Provost is also the contact when students are involved in a serious incident away from the Lawrence campus. The Office will offer information, counseling, and support to students, their families and others affected by the incident.

The Office of the Vice Provost insures appropriate, confidential notification and communication among University offices when responding to campus and individual student emergencies. Keeping community safety and security at its core, the Office of the Vice Provost for Student Affairs is always available to assist students in negotiating the University community.

To report an extended illness or accident that keeps a student away from class, contact us at 785-864-4060. Email notification will be send to the student’s faculty and instructors. When able, the student will need to follow-up with professors regarding missed instruction and coursework.
