Who to contact in an emergency

Emergency Contact Flow Chart

In emergencies that pose an imminent danger to people or facilities, call 911. Then call the Grace Christian University switchboard at (616) 538-2330 to initiate a coordinated response. In addition, contact the Dean of Students, the VP for Student Affairs, or the Director of Maintenance. All crimes of any nature should be reported to one of the above contact people.*

In non-emergency situations, start by calling the Grace Christian University switchboard at (616) 538-2330. The switchboard can call multiple contacts on the Grace Emergency Preparedness Team that will come together and manage the emergency.

You can contact Campus Safety directly at (616) 881-2803.

* The above contact people are responsible for informing the Dean of Students of all crimes so statistics can be kept and appropriate measures can be taken. Anything stolen over $100 in value also needs to be reported to the Wyoming Police Department either by the student or by the Dean of Students. Any assault crime of a minor nature should be referred to the Dean of Students for further action, which could include WPD involvement. All other crimes also need to be reported to the WPD.
