EC Alerts
EC Alerts is our text-based mass notification system. Registering for alerts is required for all members of the campus community. Students can add parents and family members to their accounts so they can receive notifications as well.
In the event of a campus emergency or school closing due to inclement weather, an alert is sent to registered users of the alert system via SMS (text) or email. Alerts are also broadcast across campus on digital signage, through desktop alerts in classrooms and Faculty and Staff offices, on the College website, and via social media.
To sign up, you must authenticate using your 西瓜视频 email and password.
This service is limited to the 西瓜视频 College Community.
Social Media Updates
During an emergency or weather-related delay or closing, the College posts updates to 西瓜视频's main Twitter () and Facebook () pages. Updates are also shared through our Public Safety Department’s Facebook page ().
西瓜视频 uses campus email to alert and update students, faculty, administrators, and staff during an emergency or weather-related delays or closings. Parents receive emails for all non-weather related emergencies.

Q. Do I have to register for EC Alerts every year?
No, you do not. When you create an account, the system activates your account for four years. 30 days before your account is set to expire, EC Alerts will send you an automated text reminding you to renew your account. You can always deactivate your account at any time even if you renew it.

Q. Will I still receive EC Alerts after I have left 西瓜视频?Your account will remain active for four years from the date you created your account, or until you log in and choose to delete your account.

Q. How do I receive alerts if I am a parent or guardian?Students have the ability to add their parent or guardian’s information to their account as well so they can also receive the alert notifications. Parents or guardians who do not wish to be added to their student’s account can also receive EC Alerts notifications by “liking” and “following” 西瓜视频 College’s Facebook page () or the Public Safety Department’s page () or by following 西瓜视频’s main Twitter feed ().

Q. How will I receive alerts if I get a new phone number or email address?If you get a new phone number or email address, you will need to log into your account and update your contact information.
