Carnegie Mellon's Campus Alert System

In light of emergencies that have recently occurred on college campuses, Carnegie Mellon wants to ensure its students, faculty, staff and friends that an emergency alert system is in place to notify the campus community if there is an incident or event that threatens public safety.

In case of an emergency, www.cmu.edu will be promptly updated with information and a link to this site (www.cmu.edu/alert), where more in-depth information will be available. In addition, the student, faculty and staff portal at my.cmu.edu will also be similarly updated. These sites will be continuously updated with information in case of emergency.

All students, faculty and staff in the Carnegie Mellon community are also encouraged to register for the Alert Now service, which sends voice and/or text messages to registered phones in the event of a campus emergency. Students, faculty and staff can register for the service online at https://my.cmu.edu/site/main/page.alert (when you click on this link, you will need to login with your username and password to access this page).

The privacy of contact information is guaranteed. Registrants will be contacted by the Alert Now system only if there is a campus emergency or during tests of the system in the spring and fall semesters. Note that the text and voice options may carry a nominal fee for recipients, depending on cell phone carriers and cell phone plans. The recipient is responsible for these fees. Questions regarding the Alert Now service should be sent via email to alertnow@andrew.cmu.edu.

Thank you for your attention to campus safety.
