"Opt-In" for Text Messaging 

 
The UNKAlert! communication system has been expanded to enable emergency notification delivery by text messaging (SMS). Participation in UNKAlert! texting is voluntary but strongly encouraged.  In life-threatening situations, everyone needs to have the ability to be warned. All costs associated with receiving a text message are the responsibility of the individual receiving the message. 

Students may Opt-in for text messages in myBlue by selecting the Phone Type of Campus Alert Text and entering a telephone number. You can opt-out from getting text messages by removing your telephone number from that field.

Employees may opt-in for text messages in Firefly Employee Self Service by the following path:

 

  • Personal Information>
  • Address & Emergency Contact>
  • Permanent Address>
  • Edit>
  • Enter telephone number in first blank field>
  • Select Phone Type by finding “Text Messages” at the bottom of the drop down list.


You can opt-out by removing the telephone number from that field.
