Approximately 400 exterior phones are strategically located throughout Yale’s campus and are readily identified at night by blue lights located above or near them. You can reach any Yale extension from these phones by simply dialing the last five digits of a phone number. In most cases this will be 2-XXXX or 6-XXXX. The phones are also equipped with red emergency buttons for direct connection to the University Police for police, fire, or medical emergencies. In an emergency, you can just hit the red “help” button and keep walking to remove yourself from a dangerous situation; the campus police will know your location and will head there immediately. For a map of phone locations, visit Blue Phones.

Also, University Security (http://www.yalesecurity.yale.edu/) operates a security escort service on campus for any member of the University community who requires an escort. The escort service will provide you with a walking escort to or from any location within a reasonable walking distance on the campus, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Simply call 203-432-WALK (9255), or 2-WALK from any Yale University phone, to request a uniformed walking escort. A uniformed Yale Security Officer will be dispatched to your location and escort you to your final on-campus destination. It is advisable to request the escort approximately 15 minutes prior to the intended departure time.
