Frequently Asked Questions
Who can sign up for the Tiffin University Emergency Notification System?
The service is available for Tiffin University students, their parents, university employees and campus guests.
Will my cell phone number be kept confidential?
Yes, your cell phone numbers are not shared or sold to any other systems or services.

Alerts are sent out only during Emergency Situations, Severe Weather Advisories, School Closings, and Major Event Cancellations. The University will send a test of the notification system once a semester to ensure that the system is working. An all-campus email will be sent out prior to the test so students, faculty, and staff will know when to expect it.

The Emergency Notification System will be used every time there is an emergency on campus. In addition, an all-campus email will be sent out to alert the campus community of an emergency.
What do I need and how much does it cost?
You need a cell phone with text messaging capabilities and there is no charge to users for signing up. Individual cell phone plans will apply normal charges for the text message.
