SPU-Alert System

SPU uses SPU-Alert (from Rave Mobile Security) for disseminating official information via email, text messages, telephones, loudspeakers and other means, to keep the campus community informed during emergencies. 

Sign Up

• SPU faculty, staff, and students should go to the Banner Information System to add or modify your contact methods for emergency notification. The SPU-Alert System is automatically updated on a nightly basis with the information that you have stored in Banner. 

- Select the "Personal Menu" tab, then the "Emergency Alert System" option

- Add or update Text/SMS devices to receive text alerts. Add or update email addresses to receive email alerts (your SPU email address will be included automatically).

• "Guest users" (non-students, non-employees, parents of students) may request to be added to the SPU-Alert System by using the "Register" button on the SPU-Alert sign-in page. Registering for SPU-Alert will subscribe you to campus-wide emergency alerts and may also include you in messages about campus emergency drills, severe weather affecting campus, and other communications. Use of SPU-Alert as a guest user is subject to SPU’s Guest User Terms and Conditions, and your registration as a Guest User constitutes your agreement to such terms.
