UU Alerts:
Union Parent/Family Member Alerts

Union University provides an emergency notification system available to all students, faculty and staff and family members.

This system is voluntary, but family members are welcome to register to receive text messages on their cell phone to inform them in the event of a campus wide emergency, security and/or weather threat. Family members can register for this system on this page.

Understanding that many family members pay to receive text messages on their cell phone, the system will be used with discretion and again, used only in the event of a high level emergency that would require the notification of the entire campus. Family members will also be able to select their relative's campus (Jackson, Germantown, Olford Center) if campus-specific messages are warranted.

This text messaging program is a layer of security, and e-mail and the campus website will still be the most reliable source of information about current security related campus events. Parents wishing to sign up for weekly e-nnouncments should visit Union's Parent's Place. The e-mail database will be used to e-mail parents in case of emergency.

Test alerts will be sent twice yearly on March 1 and October 1. For more information, please see the Frequently Asked Questions.
