Andrews University has partnered with Rave Mobile Safety, the leader in mobile safety, to offer an emergency alert notification system called AU Alert. AU Alert delivers reliable emergency text and email messages to students, staff and faculty any time an emergency notification is needed on campus.

AU Alert notices are intended only for situations involving imminent danger to health or human safety. These may include severe weather alerts, winter weather class cancellations, hostile threats, utility failure, major road closings or fire, among others.

Every Andrews’ student, staff and faculty has a self-service account in the University’s AU Alert system. You can configure your account to sign up for our AU Alert service. Then, when Andrews University issues an AU Alert notice, it will be sent to you via the phone (text) and/or email contact information you have provided.

While AU Alert is intended to enhance safety for the campus community, it does not represent a guarantee. Reliability depends on human factors such as accuracy and timeliness of information, and on technical factors such as cell phone network coverage, in-bound traffic on telephone landlines, and availability of power to the University server and your computer. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to take advantage of the AU Alert service as a prudent measure while continuing to exercise normal attention to personal and community safety.

AU Alert sends notices at no charge; however, your provider's standard charges will apply for carrying text messages sent by AU Alert. AU Alert is supported on all U.S. mobile carriers. If you switch carriers, you will need to login to reconfigure your personal settings.
