UU Alerts

Union University continues to work to provide a safe learning, living and working environment for students and employees. However, there can be times when it is critical that the college find ways to immediately inform the campus community of an emergency. As part of the college's review of the emergency response plan, a new program was implemented during the Fall 2007 semester. All students and employees are strongly encouraged to sign-up for notification of campus emergencies through a text message and email alert system.

Students/Faculty/Staff

Union University offers an emergency notification system that is available to all students, faculty, staff, spouses and parents on our Jackson, Memphis, and Hendersonville campuses. If the University has been provided with the correct cell phone number, students, faculty and staff will have an account created for them. Students, faculty and staff will still need to update their account with alternate contact information (e-mail and additional phone numbers) at the site below.

Friends and Family

Registration for Union's emergency notification system may be obtained by texting "UUFAMILY" to 226787.

Test Alerts

Test alerts will be sent bi-annually on March 1 and October 1

Please Note

Understanding that many people pay to receive text messages, the system will be used with discretion and again, only to provide information that would require the notification of the entire campus. This text message program is an added layer of security. E-mail and the campus website will still be the most reliable sources of information about security-related campus events.

This system is voluntary and you may opt out at any time. With that said, members of the Union community are strongly encouraged to receive text messages on their cell phones in the event of a campus-wide emergency, security and/or severe weather threat.
