In 2009 Carleton began using an emergency notification system for communications during a campus safety crisis (click here to read more). The use of that system is going to be expanded to include a new “ITS Emergency Notifications” option. Those who choose to sign up for this additional service will receive text message alerts about significant campus technology issues such as a network or email outage lasting 15 minutes or more. To sign up for that service, please follow these steps.
- If you’ve been receiving the test messages for campus emergencies, then you have an e2Campus account and can login using this link. If you haven’t created an e2Campus account, then step 1 is to click this link and follow the instructions which will automatically subscribe you to the “Campus Emergencies” group. Then follow the steps below.
- When you are on the e2Campus webpage there will be 3 reddish tabs under the logo. Click on the last one which says “groups”.
- Then look down the page to the Available Groups section and click “subscribe” after the option “ITS Emergency Notifications”.
- Then click the “logout” link near the upper right.
If you have questions, please contact Austin at x5635 or via email at arobinso@carleton.edu, or the ITS Helpdesk at x5999 or via email at helpdesk@carleton.edu.
