If an accident occurs while you are attending SCC, report the accident to the

and Administrative Services. Business Office personnel will notify the next of kin based on information provided by the injured student or listed in the student’s record. Accident report forms are available through the Human Resources Office located on the first floor of Balsam Center or online on the Human Resources homepage. These forms must be completed within five days and submitted to the Vice President for Financial and Administrative Services.
If a medical emergency exists, call emergency dispatch (9-1-1). If using an on-campus telephone system it may be necessary to dial 9 first. Call the College switchboard operator (dial 0) and notify this person of the medical emergency and whether 9-1-1 has been called. Off-campus centers should notify the center directors. The College switchboard operator will contact Security/Public Safety Officer on duty. Administrative Services
staff will contact the person(s) given as the emergency contact or family member for the injured/ill party. This information may be contained in the student record or personnel file.
Students are encouraged to maintain medical insurance coverage. Applications for accident insurance covering accidents at the College or in transportation to and from
the College are available in the Business Office. Insurance forms for reporting injury are available in the Business Office to those who have purchased student insurance. Students are also encouraged to report any acute medical conditions to their instructors. Such information will be kept confidential.
