Emergencies

Register with the US State Department

Please make sure you register with the U.S. State Department (Smart Traveler Enrollement Program “STEP”) before your departure. Registration is essential in order to be able to benefit from adequate assistance emergency procedures in case of a personal emergency or in the unlikely event of a local or national crisis (in Granada the risk of natural disaster, war and terror is extremely low).

Up-to-date information on Emergency Procedures and Security can be found on the website of the US Department of State. 

Sexual assault

Many victims of sexual assault don’t know what to do and how to feel after a sexual aggression. It is very important to know what options exist after such a tragic and traumatizing experience. Most importantly is to know how to secure your safety and where to seek professional help if you have been victim of a sexual aggression.

Your safety: If you are in immediate danger or seriously injured call 112 (088 from a mobile phone) and call the School’s 24h emergency number 636 261 966 or directly the 24 hours helpline from the Hospital Nuestra Señora de la Salud 618 671 168. They have a special service for victims of sexual assault.

Something happened to you that you didn’t want to happen: It is not your fault.
