General Information
CMU has implemented measures to enhance communication through the use of the Central Alert notification system. In the event of a situation affecting the campus community, emergency notification broadcasts may be sent out in an effort to alert as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. Contact path (phone, SMS text, and email) information may be specified (or updated) at https://cmich.edu/centralalert.
Eligibility
All current faculty, staff, and students may receive emergency notification alerts, depending on the contact information available and on file at the time an alert is broadcast. Students are enrolled automatically into the system, using the cell phone information they specify in their application. Faculty and staff members are initially enrolled automatically into the system using the phone number provided for their Permanent Address information.
It is recommended that all members of the CMU community review their Central Alert contact information at https://cmich.edu/centralalert to ensure it is updated and accurate.
Cost
There is no charge for this service.
