Know a friend, roommate, or student you are concerned about?
Take action now by submitting your concern—anonymously if you choose—to get them the help and support they need to be successful.
If this is an emergency or there is an immediate threat of harm to a student or the community contact University Police at 305-284-6666 or 9-1-1.
The reports are reviewed by designated University administrators who will reach out and respond to the student of concern by the next business day. It is our goal to intervene before the student reaches a crisis level.

Naloxone (AKA Narcan) is a life-saving medication that can rapidly reverse an opioid overdose. If you or someone you know is at increased risk for opioid overdose, especially those struggling with opioid use disorder (OUD), you should carry naloxone and keep it at home. You can obtain Naloxone at the Walgreens located on-campus in the Lennar Foundation Medical Center. Additionally, the Sandler Center will be hosting Narcan trainings throughout the year, in collaboration with the Miami Recovery Project, URecovery, and Student Health. All attendees will receive Narcan upon completion of the training. The trainings are open to all students, faculty, and staff. Click here to find more information about these trainings.
