Emergencies

Faculty, staff and students may contact Thomas Jefferson University's Department of Public Safety at 215-951-2999 or 911 for assistance and possible transport to a local emergency room.

If you are a student in a campus resident facility, please also notify the Resident Assistant (RA) or Resident Director (RD).

If you are on campus, look for one of the blue light emergency telephones which, when activated, can connect you directly with a campus public safety officer.

Rape or Sexual Abuse

If you have been raped or sexually abused, seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Even if you are not sure if you want to press charges now, the evidence can be taken with your consent, just in case you change your mind.

Do not shower, eat, drink, smoke, douche, or change clothes before the medical exam. This may destroy evidence.

If able, bring a change of clothes for after the medical exam.
