Campus emergency alert system sign-up available
A campus emergency alert system is available for all CTC central campus students. Provided by SkyTel,
the system notifies students of any emergency on campus or in the immediate vicinity which may affect CTC. Emergency alerts will be sent via e-mail, text message or voice message when situations require unscheduled closure or evacuation of the central campus or facility. These include severe and inclement weather, a power outage, police or fire emergency, catastrophe and exposure to hazardous material. The system will alert students in as little as 90 seconds. For students en route to class or still at home, the system will help warn them not to come to campus when there is an emergency. And for those students already on campus, it will assist them in following the necessary precautions and evacuation procedures.
To receive the CTC emergency alerts, students must subscribe to the system online from CTC's Webadvisor page by clicking the “CTC Emergency Alert” icon. Once a student accesses the log-in page, they will be prompted to set up an account. There they will establish their private password and choose how they want to receive the alert. Once the selections are made, activation is immediate.
The subscription is free but if students choose to receive text message alerts, standard text message charges from their wireless service provider may apply. Those choosing the e-mail or voice message option may include up to five e-mail addresses or phone numbers at which to be notified. Each subscription will be valid for one academic year and changes to the choice of alert receipt method may be changed at any time during the year.
More information about registering for the emergency alert system can be found on the Current Students page of the CTC website under CTC Emergency Alert.
