What are the consequences of deciding not to opt in to the cell or home phone alerts of the UR Alert System?
You will not receive messages via your cell phone if you choose not to provide a cell phone number. You will not receive SMS text messages if you choose not to opt in to receive those. For faculty and staff, you will not receive a voice message at your home phone number of record unless you opt in to do so. You will continue to receive e-mail notification at your Richmond e-mail address; you will have access to the Emergency Hotline; and you will be able to find the emergency information at the University homepage. Faculty and staff will receive the emergency message on their office phone. If voice mail picks up, the message will be delivered to the voice mail box. Students will receive the emergency message on their residence hall phone extension. If the phone is not answered, a message will be delivered to those extensions connected directly to an answering machine. Those students using personal voice mail boxes will not receive the message in their personal voice mail box, however.
