  • Campus Safety Message
    The University of Florida Police Department would like to provide an update regarding a series of hoax email threats issued to different departments at the University of Florida. As of 3 p.m. on Monday, multiple offices throughout UF continued to receive similar, if not identical, hoax email threats or calls. The campuses and units affected have expanded beyond the Gainesville campus, to include UF Health Jacksonville. Each campus or unit affected by these threats is working with local law enforcement agencies. None of the threats received at the Gainesville campus have been found to be credible. Higher-education institutions across the nation are often the target of hoax threats, including UF. Despite the pervasiveness of these hoax threats, UFPD takes all reports seriously and asks the campus community to do the same. UFPD encourages the UF community to remain vigilant and report anything that may seem suspicious to police. Members of the Gainesville campus should call 352-392-1111, while UF locations throughout the state should immediately contact local law enforcement. In the event of an actual incident that poses an immediate threat to the health and safety of the campus community, an emergency notification will be issued through the UF Alert System.
