How does the UNI Alert System work?
UNI Alert allows UNI administrators to send recorded emergency messages (UNI Alerts) to students, faculty and staff by cell phone, landline phone, e-mail, and text-message within minutes. When a threat or campus emergency is identified, UNI Alert uses contact information from the universitys official directory data (updated via MyUNIverse) to simultaneously send thousands of messages directly to students, faculty, and staff using cell phone numbers, home phone numbers, office phone numbers and e-mail. The entire campus community can be notified in about 20 minutes. UNI Alert is built upon the Connect-ED System, developed specifically for schools, colleges and universities by The NTI Group, Inc.
