FAQ

How much does it cost to receive the emergency text messages?

If you provide the number to your SMS text-enabled cell phone, the only cost is the amount your cell phone company may charge you to receive a text message. However, 17勛圖厙 will ONLY use the 17勛圖厙 Alert system for emergency notifications, not routine communications or announcements. Your number will be removed automatically from the system if you are no longer a student or employee of the university.

When will the 17勛圖厙Alert system be used?

17勛圖厙s emergency notification system (17勛圖厙Alert) will be used only when there is a campus closing, severe threat to public safety and health of the entire campus community, which has not been contained or controlled, and when immediate action is required on the part of the recipient group(s), (e.g. chemical spills impacting public health, school closing, tornado warnings, active shooters, etc). Once the situation receives an all clear by the proper authorities then this information will be posted on the 17勛圖厙 Web site.

The campus alert system will not be used for non-emergency notifications such as lane closures, routine crime updates, situations that have been contained or where a threat does not exist, rumor control, and situations where notification is merely a convenience or when 17勛圖厙s main Web Site is the most appropriate communication method. The campus alert system will not replace 17勛圖厙s main Web Site for non-urgent messages. The 17勛圖厙 Alert system will be tested twice a year during the spring and fall semesters.

What contacts should I provide? How many different numbers can I enter?

You can provide landline telephone numbers, cell phone numbers, and email addresses that will enable the University to reach you in an emergency.

If I provide multiple numbers and a cell phone with SMS text messaging, which device will it notify first?

The system delivers messages to phones and SMS independently and simultaneously. Therefore, it will be delivered to all your available phone numbers at the same time. Its possible you could receive them concurrently, but depending on your mobile and landline providers, the times may vary.
