Star Alert

Star Alert is our Emergency Notification System. It allows campus community members to receive text and email notifications in the event of campus-related emergencies.

In the event of an emergency, a Star Alert message will briefly state the location and nature of the emergency, and may include a specific action to take. Star Alert will also be used to notify you if campus is closed or if classes are delayed or cancelled.
