Emergency Notification Service
What is CarlAlert?
Carleton's CarlAlert Emergency Notification Service is an "Opt-Out" benefit.
In the event of a campus emergency students, faculty, and staff who do not opt-
out of the service will receive emergency text messages on their mobile phones,
Carleton.edu email address, and if they so desire, their personal email address.
These messages will also be displayed on the monitors of College-owned
computers as well as public video monitors throughout campus.
Do I need to sign up?
We encourage everyone to sign up for the emergency notification service at their
earliest convenience. In order to add additional or update existing cell phone
numbers and email addresses to your account, use the Change Notification
Settings link. New faculty and staff who have not subscribed prior to the service
test each term will automatically have their campus email address enrolled in the
system. New students who have not subscribed prior to the Fall term service test
will automatically have their campus email enrolled, along with the cell phone
number on file at that time. If you decide to opt-out of the service, emergency
and test messages will NO LONGER be delivered to your email or phone.
UNLESS YOU OPT-OUT OF THIS SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO
RECEIVE ALL EMERGENCY AND SYSTEM TEST MESSAGES.
When will this service be used?
With the exception of periodic tests to ensure that the system is working
properly, this service will only be used in the event of a time-sensitive campus
emergency.
Who can send emergency notifications?
Only individuals in Security, the President's and College Relations offices, the
Dean of Students, the Dean of the College, and the V.P. & Treasurer have access
to generate an emergency notification through this system.
