alertYC Emergency Alerting System
What is alertYC?
alertYC is a text message / email notification system used to provide information and instructions to students, faculty, and staff in the event of an incident or emergency on-campus, including campus closures or late starts/early releases.
You Decide
When you register for this service, you have full control to decide what you want to be notified of, how you wish to be notified, and for how long you wish to receive notifications.
Anytime Control
You can modify your account settings and preferences 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and can opt-out at any time.
I don't like text messaging / I don't own a cell phone - is there another option?
Sure - you can opt to receive an email notification instead of a text message.
Will you spam me with lots of messages I don't care about?
No, we will only send alerts when the College determines that a campus should close early or that classes should start late (typically due to inclement weather). We'll also send out alerts should there be an unsafe situation on one of our campuses (for example, a gas leak in a building, a nearby police chase, fire, severe smoke, etc.).
