SWUALERT Text Notification System

The SWUALERT notification system is available to students, faculty and staff on the main SWU campus in Central.  The SWUALERT notification system is only used to alert the campus community of situations which may require specific action.  For example, the system has been used to alert the campus to impending weather conditions such as a tornado watch or icy conditions but could also be used to alert the campus of other significant critical information.  The SWUALERT notification system is not used to announce events or programs. 

For more information on the SWUALERT notification system and how to opt-in, contact the Office of Student Life at 864-644-5140.
