When can I expect to receive a message from UAlbany using SUNY NY Alert?
. SUNY NY Alert is set up to address CRITICAL INCIDENTS on campus where there is IMMINENT DANGER to others in the campus community. SUNY NY Alert will be used judiciously and only for an emergency that affects the entire campus. For example, if a student is a victim of a date rape, while this is an onerous situation, the entire community would not be alerted using this system, as there is no imminent danger to the community. If however, a rape occurred on campus by an unknown assailant, the threat of danger to the community would prompt a SUNY NY Alert to be issued.
