Meredith’s Emergency Notification System

In the event of an emergency or other situation when rapid communication with the campus community is essential, Meredith College utilizes an emergency notification system known as MC Alert.

MC Alert is the primary mechanism for students, faculty and staff to receive notifications in the event of an on-campus emergency that poses an immediate risk to the health and safety of the campus community and about College closings, delays and modified campus operations schedules.

The MC Alert system allows Meredith to convey time-sensitive information within minutes, through a single phone call. Meredith College can schedule, send and track personalized voicemail, email and text messages to students, faculty and staff.

MC Alert emergency notification messages are sent via four different modes of communication:

• Voice messages to home, work and/or cell phones
• Text messages to cell phones, PDAs and other text-based devices
• Written messages to email accounts
• Messages to receiving devices for the hearing impaired.

In order to receive MC Alerts, you must sign up on Self Service. You will need to log in with your Self Service user name and password.
