Download the Ginger app, which offers confidential, on-demand emotional and mental health support through coaching via text-based chats, self-care activities and video-based therapy and psychiatry.
NinerReady: Be NinerReady by downloading the LiveSafe app and the CMPD app. Please program the Campus Police numbers into your cell phone: 704-687-2200 (emergency) and 704-687-8300 (non-emergency) and learn more about NinerAlerts and NinerNotices.
