Is Your Student Signed Up for WiscAlerts–Text?

More than 12,000 students, faculty, and staff are signed up for WiscAlerts–Text. Is your student among them?

WiscAlerts–Text, UW–Madison’s new emergency text-messaging service, was first launched at the end of spring semester. Students who have not yet enrolled can do so by logging into the My UW portal and looking for the WiscAlerts logo. Registration is simple and takes just a few moments. The service is free, but users will be responsible for normal short-messaging service charges from cellular providers.

The service is open to students, faculty, and staff only. Parents who have registered with the Parent Program will a receive a Parent Notice in the event of a critical campus incident.
