Text message notifications will be used only in rare circumstances to notify you of critical information regarding urgent situations.
The University typically conducts tests of the Text Message Notification System twice a year. Members of the community are notified of the test in advance. These tests will not require you to do anything, and will provide familiarity with the text message notification system in the event that we need to use it for urgent information.
