Subsection 7.7 Emergency Situations
If you experience an emergency situation during the semester, Student Emergency Services (SES) is here to help you. They can help in the event of family emergencies, medical or mental health concerns, and interpersonal violence, among other situations. If you experience such an emergency, you may contact them directly through email ( studentemergency@austin.utexas.edu ) or by phone (512-471-5017), or you may contact one of us and we will assist you with the process.
Please, if you are in an emergency situation, focus on "forgiveness, not permission". Please focus on your needs, and assume we will do something reasonable when we learn of the situation. If you have time to drop us a note to let us know what is going on, please do---but otherwise, focus on you. Documentation through SES will eventually be required, but it does not need to be immediate.
