Emergency Work Request Guidelines

The following safety-based requests are considered emergencies and will be taken by telephone as they directly affect classes in session, as well as safety and security.  The department/division will still need to input these requests through FacilitiesLink; phone notification does not substitute for placing a work request on-line.  

Please call extension 2307 or 2309 to report emergency issues/problems during normal business hours; for after-hours assistance, please call 562-760-5579
