Complete list of emergency numbers

Identification

All community members are issued an I.D. card free of charge upon matriculation in the college. (The card also serves as the student’s library card.) Safety is a priority at MCPHS, community members are expected to wear their college I.D. at all times when on campus and to show such upon request of a properly identified official or member of the MCPHS staff. The I.D. system is designed to assure that only students, staff, and faculty have access to the college; all visitors, including parents and guardians, must register at a Public Safety Desk and be escorted in by an MCPHS community member. No one is admitted into the college without an I.D. All other entrances into the college are locked and inaccessible without valid and active identification.

Loss of the card should be reported immediately to the Department of Public Safety. Found ID's will be kept at the Public Safety Desk in the lobby of the Fennell building. The fee to replace an I.D. card, for any reason, is $10; application and payment for replacement is made at the Office of the Registrar.

Escorts

Escorts are available to walk with MCPHS community members to parking lots and nearby residence hall. Go to the Public Safety Desk in the lobby of the Fennell building and advise an officer that you would like an escort.
