Accident/Injury Reporting
What is an accident?
An accident is an undesired event resulting in injury to a person or damage (including fire) to college property. Any accident, near‐miss, or damage to college property must be reported as soon as possible and no later than 24 hours after the event.

In the event of a serious injury or immediate danger, call 911:
