You Care Deeply About Your Child’s Safety. So Do We.
Emergency Notification System
Contact Liberty University Emergency Communications:
Non-Emergency Call: (434) 592-7641
Emergency Call: (434) 592-3911
Liberty University has also implemented an emergency notification system that we can use to alert you in the event of certain situations on campus – including school closings, severe weather, and life-threatening situations.
The emergency alert system is open to all members of the Liberty University community with a Liberty account. Students can also sign up other individuals, such as a parent or spouse, to receive alerts under their account. Learn more about how your child can sign up for emergency alerts.
Additionally, we have multiple emergency blue light call boxes across campus to help ensure the highest safety and security measures. When a button on the emergency blue light pole is pressed, the lights go into strobe mode – and a special camera is activated to provide live-stream video to the Liberty University Emergency Communications Dispatch Center. A dispatcher can send emergency personnel while monitoring and communicating with the individual in distress via the call box.
See our student safety brochure for more information about what we’re doing to keep our campus safe!
