Everbridge is the SUNY-wide Emergency Notification System. This system will relay emergency messages to students by phone, email, and digital signage. In order to receive these notifications, students and employees must keep their information updated.
For new transfer students, they may not be able to sign up right away. Contact the IT Service Desk bu placing a ticket here:I Need Help! - Submit a General IT Ticket or Call 585-395-5151 Option 1. The limitations of sign up are as follows:
- For incoming transfer students, they will not get loaded to Everbridge until approximately 10 days before the start day of the semester.
- For incoming freshmen (non-transfers), they will be loaded at the beginning of July. This is because they may need to be alerted by the system during their orientation stays.
