How will it be tested?
A test of the Emergency Notification Service will be conducted once per
academic term. The purpose of the test is to verify that the system is working
properly and that everyone who has not opted-out of the system has received the
test message. This exercise will be preceded by an all-campus email announcing
the test. If you did not opt-out of the service and did not receive the test message
on your cell phone or email(s), call the ITS Help Desk at (507) 222-5999.
Will it cost me anything?
Not unless your wireless carrier charges for SMS text messages.
How do I opt-out?
If you have a cell phone number entered in the CarlAlert system, you can opt-
out by sending a blank text to 79516 from that phone. Otherwise, notify the
Director of Security that you wish to opt-out of CarlAlert.
Can I change my cell phone number and/or personal email address?
Carleton relies on students, faculty, and staff with cell phone numbers in the
CarlAlert Emergency Notification Service to keep those numbers up to date.
You may sign up for up to two cell phones and up to two email addresses. You
do not have to add your Carleton email address to your account - messages will
be delivered there automatically. To update your CarlAlert settings, use the
Change Notification Settings link.
What do I do if I receive notice of an emergency through this service?
Notices will contain instructions on how to respond.
