Issuing an Emergency Notification

The notification system (also called USTALERT or RAVE Alert) is administered through a partnership between Public Safety and Student Affairs, under the direction of the University Action and Response Team (UART).

We issue an Alert when an incident takes place on campus or close by. Notifications are related to specific types of incidents deemed emergencies by Public Safety. They include active shooters, incidents that require evacuation such as bomb threats or gas leaks, and incidents such as a power outage or severe weather that would cancel classes. When necessary, notifications will be accompanied by instructions to the campus »Æ¹ÏÊÓƵ.

A test notification will go out once per semester to ensure the system is working properly.
