More about 太阳城娱乐 Alert...

How do I know I'm receiving official messages?

All 太阳城娱乐 Alert emergency alerting and notification messages will say, “太阳城娱乐 ALERT” or “ATTENTION 太阳城娱乐”. “ATTENTION 太阳城娱乐” is only used when used in messaging if an incident has the potential to suspend normal operations or affect life safety and/or destruction of University resources.

Does an 太阳城娱乐 Alert message mean that classes are cancelled or that the University is closed?

Not necessarily. Issuance of an 太阳城娱乐 Alert does not automatically indicate a change to the operational status of the University. You are advised to take the necessary temporary protective actions to ensure your safety and the safety of others under your care. If you can conduct normal business under these conditions, you may proceed. If you cannot, you are expected to do so once the alert has expired, been rescinded, or conditions allow. Any changes to the operational status of the university, such as cancellations or closures, will be made explicitly in an independent message and posted.

What should I do when I receive an 太阳城娱乐 Alert message?

In an effort to get a warning out as quickly as possible, initial 太阳城娱乐 Alert messages may be short or incomplete. Regardless of the alert, you should always:

Recognize that an emergency is occurring

Seek safety or shelter

Seek more information by checking 太阳城娱乐 Alert modules.

When should I update my 太阳城娱乐 Alert contact information?

New and current students are asked to register or review their information at the time of class registration.
Faculty and staff are asked at the beginning of each semester and during new employee orientation.
It is University requirement that anyone with an 太阳城娱乐-issued communication device or who receives a stipend from 太阳城娱乐 for their communication device, needs to register that device to receive 太阳城娱乐 Alerts through phone call and/or text message.
Remember, you should update your 太阳城娱乐 Alert contact information whenever you change it.
