URS Alert is a mass notification system that enables College students, faculty and staff to receive alerts and updates as text messages on cell phones. Participation by the College community is voluntary. It is powered by Omnilert Network e2Campus.
URS Alert will be activated for the following situations:

• College Closings or Delays – due to weather, power failure, or any other emergency requiring that the campus be closed or its opening delayed.
• Campus Emergencies – such as fire, intruders, or any other campus-based emergency requiring notification to all members of the College community and that may or may not include closing the campus.
• Crime Alerts – such as thefts or assaults.
• Other Emergencies – judged by the administration to require immediate notification to the College community.

No advertisements or non-emergency alerts will be sent to the registered phones. Your information is not shared with or sold to third parties. Your cell phone number will not be used by College offices to contact you through this text notification system.

You must sign up for the service in order to receive alerts. Since this is a voluntary service, you may choose to opt-in or opt-out of the service at any time. You are responsible for any text messaging charges from your wireless service provider. Click here to register.

If you have problems registering or logging in contact the CIS Helpdesk at extension 8391 or contact the Computer Helpdesk via Flowan from the Ursuline College web site.
