Test of RIT Alert complete
RIT just conducted a test of RIT Alert, the emergency mass notification system. If this were a real emergency, you would have been provided with additional information about the emergency and any actions you would need to take.
The RIT Alert message was sent to the following:
- Text and voice messages to cell phones
- Alert beacons message and lights
- RIT Facebook
- Message on web sites at the RIT Emergency Information website and the Rochester Institute of Technology website.
If you did not receive any a text or voice message to your cell phone, it may be because:
1) You opted out of the system.
2) Your contact information in Student Information System (SIS) or Oracle is missing or is incorrect.
It is not too late to sign up for RIT Alert! To learn more, including instructions on how to update personal emergency notification contact information, go to the RIT Alert website.
