Important Campus Safety Messages
Whether it’s a severe weather occurrence or an important health notice, the University will make every effort to inform the campus community of emergency situations on campus and the area immediately surrounding the campus. In most instances, students, faculty, and staff will receive alerts via e-mail and/or automated voicemails. In addition, alerts are posted on the University website. It is highly recommended to sign up for the Wildcat Alert text messaging system.

Campus Safety Alerts
To help prevent crimes or serious incidents, the Department of Campus Safety, in conjunction with other departments, issues Campus Safety Alerts. These Alerts are intended to notify administrators, faculty, staff, and students about specific crimes on and around campus. Administrators, faculty, staff, and students who know of a crime or other serious incident should make a report as soon as possible so that, if warranted, a Campus Safety Alert can be issued. In instances when a report is made to other University administrators, the report will be automatically forwarded to the Department of Public Safety for a collaborative response.
Campus Safety Alerts reach campus members of the University community in a variety of ways. Once the University determines that an alert should be issued, the Department e-mails the Alert to faculty, staff and students. The Department also post flyers on bulletin boards throughout campus. When warranted, Alerts are also added to appear the University’s Homepage.
