How to Update Contact Preferences in New School Alerts
New School Alerts is a mass notification service that allows the university to alert you in the case of an emergency. The contact information you provide is protected and will not be used for any other purpose.
When we issue a notification about a potential safety hazard or concern, you will receive a message on the voice, text, or email communication methods that you have registered.
Note: If requested in the notification, you can confirm that you have received the message and you will not be contacted by any subsequent methods regarding that particular notification. If you do not confirm, the system will continue to attempt to reach you at all of the contact paths that you have registered.
