All students, faculty and staff are encouraged to access two notification systems, Alertus and SUNY NY-Alert, to receive important communications during emergency situations and severe weather events affecting our community. In addition to improving communications during unexpected events, both systems are used to share weather-related college closures and class cancellations.
Please know that we regularly test the Alertus and SUNY-NY Alert systems and take very seriously our ability to communicate accurate information when emergency situations or severe weather affect our campus community or operations.
