Eagle Alerts

CMU utilizes Eagle Alerts to ensure the campus community receives critical university notifications on safety issues and school closings. The system sends simultaneous messages to all registered text-message capable phones to alert registrants of information critical to their safety and well-being. All College of Liberal Arts and Sciences students are automatically enrolled. Faculty and staff can log in to the intranet and view additional instructions here. If you need assistance, please contact Plant Operations or the Office of Technology Services.
