Welcome to the 2016-17 Academic Year! Now is the time to ensure that you are registered to receive OWU ALERT emergency notifications. The University will use the OWU ALERT system to share information about weather delays/closings and information about urgent situations requiring your immediate action.
To register, update, or verify your information, please log into your myOWU account. After logging into myOWU, click the “menu” option (the 3 black bars) in the upper left-hand corner, choose “Quick Links,” choose your appropriate information box (“Students” or “Faculty and Staff,” and then click the “OWU Alert Info” link.
Complete the OWU ALERT form with your preferred email, telephone, and text-message contact points, and then click “Submit changes” to record your preferences. You may update your information at any time. The system is refreshed weekly on Friday nights.
Students, please note: If you enroll parents or guardians in the notification system, only you are able to update their information or remove them.
In addition to OWU ALERT emergency notifications, the University also will send email-only “Timely Warnings” with time-sensitive safety information that does not require immediate action and email-only “Public Safety Advisories” with general safety information. Please watch for these email subject lines and be sure to read the complete messages. For a list of general safety tips, please visit www.owu.edu/safety.
Thank you for your time and attention.
