Emergency Information

In crisis situations, students may contact us when the Center is open, at 617.349.8545. (The Counseling Center does not provide emergency services outside of our regular hours of operation.)

We urge the use of other resources since we may not always be able to respond immediately to emergencies. We do not provide night-time and weekend coverage.  If an emergency occurs, the following procedures are recommended:

FOR STUDENTS LIVING ON CAMPUS:

• CALL 911 and then CALL LESLEY UNIVERSITY SECURITY at 617.349.8888
• Depending on the nature of the assistance needed, you may wish to call a Community Advisor.

FOR ALL OTHER STUDENTS:

• CALL 911
• You may call the Lesley University SECURITY OFFICE at 617.349.8888

You may also call or go to a local hospital emergency room:

Student Insurance

Knowledge of your health insurance coverage is very important for accessing these emergency services. Students should have their insurance cards with them when they go to the hospital. For more information on health insurance, go to the Student Insurance site.
