Campus Safety

If there’s an emergency on campus, we’ll text you. Sign up for our campus alert system e2Campus. You will receive safety advisories along with information on upcoming events, just enter your contact information and choose which groups can send you advisories. If your contact information changes or your change mobile phone carriers, remember to update your information so you will always be informed of what's happening around campus.

You will also receive email alerts through the email that you’ve registered with Gulf Coast State College. This is probably your campus email address.

Campus security personnel will use building PA systems and loudspeakers outside to make safety announcements and tell you what to do next.

In an emergency, these monitors display a warning message and instructions.

Gulf Coast’s Radio Station, WKGC, will deliver emergency messages and updates if the situation persists.

Florida is susceptible to weather-related events that range from thunderstorms and tornadoes to Category 5 hurricanes. If these weather events escalate to the point of an emergency, Gulf Coast State College will notify you with instructions using one of the methods detailed above. You can also visit the campus safety inclement weather page to read about procedures in an emergency.

Have you had personal property stolen, been harassed by someone on campus or threatened by a friend or family member? These are examples of personal safety and security issues that are important to us, but are not likely to threaten the entire campus. Please contact one of the individuals listed below. We want to help.

The Concerning or Threatening Behavior Form may be used if you see something irregular or suspicious on campus. This form can be used to report any threatening behavior regardless of whether the person exhibiting the behavior is an employee or a student of GCSC. The form has several areas to be completed including your personal contact information for follow up and clarification, although it is not required to file the report. However, the more information you enter, the better we can assist you in solving the issue.
