Update Emergency Notification System Contact Information Beginning Aug. 16

Beginning Aug. 16, 2010, students, faculty and staff will be asked to verify and update their contact information used for the University’s Emergency Notification System. The University uses Connect-ED by Blackboard Connect, Inc., to send notifications about emergencies, school closings or delays via e-mail, text and phone messages to members of the University community.

In order for the system to be most effective, each semester, students, faculty and staff will be asked to verify and update contact information. Updates for the fall semester will begin on Aug. 16.

University e-mail addresses are already registered to receive alerts. Members of the University community can register up to three numbers to receive voice and text messages, and up to two additional e-mail accounts.

The University will test the emergency notification system once each semester. The fall semester test alert is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 15.
