Union University provides an emergency notification system available to all students, faculty and staff.
This system is voluntary, but students are strongly encouraged to register to receive text messages on their cell phone in the event of a campus wide emergency, security and/or weather threat. Students can register for this system on this page.
Understanding that many students 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. Individuals will also be able to select their 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. Test alerts will be sent twice yearly on March 1 and October 1. For more information, please see the Frequently Asked Questions.
Once you complete the following information, you will be able to add yourself to the group that best describes you.
