EMERGENCY RESPONSE

All students, faculty and staff should be familiar with College emergency response procedures, which can be found online within the MMC Emergency Response Guide. If there is an emergency at any Marymount Manhattan College facility notify Campus Safety immediately at ext. 411 and dial 911 if necessary.

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM – CONNECT-ED

In the event that a significant emergency or dangerous situation occurs involving an immediate threat to the safety of students, MMC will notify the College community without delay. This information will be transmitted utilizing Connect-ED, the College’s emergency communication system, which will allow MMC to send time-sensitive information via voice, email and text messages delivered right to student’s cell phones. Connect-ED enhances emergency preparedness and response at the College and enables our community to stay informed in the event of an emergency. All students are strongly urged to register with Connect-ED. Sign up through the MMC Portal. Parents can also sign up for Parent ConnectEd.
