The University's emergency notification system allows for the mass dissemination of critical information via voice, text, and e-mail to undergraduate students during a major emergency. If you are an undergraduate in the College of Arts, Sciences, and Engineering or the Eastman School of Music, you can input or edit your contact information in the AlertUR system. (NOTE: Text messages will be delivered more quickly than voice messages.)
Phase I is operating for all undergraduates in the College of Arts, Sciences, and Engineering, the Eastman School of Music, and the School of Nursing. On July 1, 2010, Phase II was initiated for all graduate students, faculty, and staff. Plans are being developed to enroll University of Rochester Medical Center faculty and staff in the program later this year. In the interim, emergency systems within the Medical Center will continue to serve that function.
