Cedarville's Emergency Notification System

Cedarville University takes the safety and security of our students seriously. We encourage all students to confirm their emergency notification information so that they receive an alert in the event of an emergency situation (weather, power outage, etc.) on campus. This week's campus closure and delayed start to the semester due to the winter storm provided an excellent example of the importance of timely communication through the emergency notification system.

Can Parents Register for Emergency Alerts?

Registered students can add a parent under the "Other Phone Contacts" section to ensure you will be informed immediately if there is an emergency on campus. Parents are not able to register for emergency alerts individually.

To set up emergency notification, have your student complete the following steps:

• Go to the "Signup for Emergency Notifications" form (you can update it later in myCU).
• Under the "Opt-In" tab, enter a primary and secondary telephone number(s). These numbers will be automatically called in the event of an emergency on campus. Check the box if you would like to receive text messages. Use the "Other Phone Contacts" section to enter parent contact information.
• Enter your email address(es) for emergency notifications to be sent to. (Note: you can add additional family members who would benefit from emergency notifications.)
• Once you are finished, click "Update My Settings."
