University of St. Thomas

UST Emergency Notification System

University of St. Thomas students, staff and faculty are invited to register their cell-phone numbers with the university’s Emergency Notification System. This system will only be used by the university’s Department of Public Safety and only in the most extreme cases involving the safety of the university community. It will not be used, for example, for school-closing announcements because of winter weather.

The system can send both voice and text messages to the cell phones of all students, staff and faculty who choose to register their cell-phone information. This is voluntary and there is no cost to sign up for the new system. Those who do not register a cell phone number will receive emergency alerts via e-mail and their office, home and/or residence hall phones.
