This document provides a general guidance of evacuation procedures for students with disabilities in case of fire or other building emergencies. Suffolk University students who may require special assistance in the event of emergency evacuation should contact the Office of Disability Services at 617-994-6820 or disabilityservices@suffolk.edu to create an evacuation plan immediately upon arrival at Suffolk.  

The evacuation of any Suffolk University building during a fire alarm is required, regardless of cause. In accordance with regulatory requirements and Suffolk University policies and procedures, everyone must evacuate a building in which a fire alarm is sounding or blinking. Fire alarms include, but are not limited to accidental alarm, false alarm or conditions caused by fire and/or smoke.
