I work for a LEC in Iowa and am familiar with what a local college that has 15+ buildings did. They set up a handful of zones (that related to a geographical area) in their Cisco UCM, which each zone having a unique telephone number. They assigned each phone extension (each one has a DID) to a zone.
We associated each zone telephone number with geographical description the college provided. So now when 911 is dialed the calling number and the zone telephone number is transmitted in the PRI (and then SS7) signaling to the PSAP, so that the dispatcher will see both the zone number, zone's geographical location, and calling number. That way if the caller can't communicate their location to the dispatcher, at least the emergency responders have the area narrowed down to a portion of the campus, plus if they can get a hold of someone they can find out who uses that phone extension and narrow it down that way.

I don't think you are responsible for fulfilling any requirements for cell phones unless your campus police have a true PSAP which receives the calls and would have to identify the location from the info provided by the carrier.
For your own campus owned stationary phones it is a different story. I believe you have to work with your carrier to keep location information of stationary phones up to date with their database. I would think if you contacted your local exchange carrier, they should be able to tell you what they need.

A question has come up as we plan the upcoming projects, about exactly what
we are responsible for as far as E-911. We have an emergency alert system
for incoming alerts for say weather events, but when a student for example
calls 911 from either a campus phone or from a cell we want to make sure we
fulfill all requirements. I found lots of information about the 2004 law
but it all seems to be focused on wireless service providers. Does anyone
know exactly what colleges are responsible for now, in 2012? I was not able
to find anything in the Resnet Archives.
