Unified communications does not change the basics of what to do in an emergency situation on campus. You still call Protection at uOttawa. The difference may be that instead of using a telephone set, you make the call from MS Teams.

There are several ways to place a call today.

SecurUO

Check if you have the University’s safety app, SecurUO, on your desktop and cellphone. A must-have! It has a direct dialer to Protection Services.

As always, of course, you can call Protection Services directly at 613-562-5800 extension 5411 from your cellphone.
