Welcome, Bishops! As the semester begins, please ensure that you are enrolled to receive OWU Alert emergency messages via your choice of telephone, text, and\/or email messages.<\/p>\n
We also anticipate upgrading the system this semester and ask that, if you already are enrolled, you verify your information to ensure that your personal cell phone is listed in the “Mobile” field<\/strong> (vs. the “Additional” field) and to ensure that your phone number to receive texts is listed in the “SMS (Text) 1” field<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Please note that we will be testing the system soon, so please enroll or make any contact updates as soon as possible.<\/p>\n The University uses the OWU Alert system to share urgent information, including weather-related issues, requiring immediate action.<\/p>\n To sign up, verify that you are signed up, or update<\/strong> your OWU Alert contact information:<\/p>\n Students, please note: If — in addition to yourself — you enroll your parents or guardians in the OWU ALERT system, only you<\/strong>\u00a0are able to update their information or remove them.<\/p>\n In addition to OWU ALERT emergency notifications, the University also sends email-only “Timely Warnings” (with time-sensitive safety information that does not require immediate action) as well as email-only “Public Safety Advisories” (general safety information). You will receive these messages outside of the OWU ALERT system.<\/p>\n For a list of general safety tips, visit www.owu.edu\/safety<\/a>. Thank you for your time and attention.<\/p>\n\n
