Cell phones are a great thing. For seizures, clear the area (so the person can't slam into something and injure him/herself), if they are on the ground cushion the head from slamming into the floor/ground. Otherwise just wait it out. If they are really out of it afterwards, call for medical attention...most of the time they just need rest, rehydration and electrolytes (Gatorade, orange juice, grape juice). You might want to ask the student what she prefers you to do if it happens again as different people have different types of seizures and different ways of recovering. It's a shock when it happens unexpectedly, but not typically an "emergency" unless it doesn't resolve itself in a few minutes.
