An Oakland University emergency text alert message system test will take place at approximately 1 p.m. on Wednesday, September 29.
The Oakland University Police Department uses text message alerts to ensure that in the event of an emergency, everyone on campus will receive critical information as quickly as possible.
Text alerts are sent only in response to the following conditions:
- An imminent threat of danger on campus
- An unanticipated university closure
- A campus-wide cancellation of classes
- The declaration of a snow emergency
- A system test conducted once each semester
To receive emergency text messages, campus community members must register for the service. Anyone with an active OU e-mail account and Grizz ID number can do so on the Oakland University Police Department website.
Registered users who have ensured their contact information is up to date and do not receive a text alert test message during the upcoming test should report this to [email protected].
