CMU-Alert, Carnegie Mellon University’s emergency notification system, has transitioned to a new service provider, which will no longer require subscribers to opt-in.

Faculty and staff will automatically receive CMU-Alert messages to their email, office phone and personal phone numbers listed in Workday. Students will continue to automatically receive CMU-Alert messages to their email and personal phone numbers listed in the Student Information Online (SIO) system.

We ask students to make sure their contact information is accurate in the SIO system. We ask faculty and staff to make sure their contact information is accurate in Workday by using this guide. Please note that faculty and staff wishing to receive text alerts must identify their cell phone number as a mobile device in the drop-down menu.

While discouraged, faculty and staff will have the ability to opt-out of receiving emergency alerts to their mobile and/or other personal phone numbers by following this guide: Unsubscribe from CMU-Alert in Workday Quick Guide [pdf].  Students will continue to have the ability to opt-out via the SIO’s “Edit CMU-Alert Emergency Notifications” link.

CMU-Alert email messages will come from CMU-Alert@andrew.cmu.edu. CMU-Alert voice notifications will come from 412-268-2578 (ALRT). Please add this information as a contact on your mobile device to avoid confusion and concerns with spam communications.

If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact cmu-alert@andrew.cmu.edu.

Thank you for your attention and for ensuring that your contact information in the SIO system or Workday is accurate.
