Text Message Notification

The U of C has introduced an emergency text messaging system designed to ensure the ongoing safety of students. This system will only be used in the case of an emergency and will use a short text message sent directly to cell phones of those who have signed up. There is NO COST to sign up for this service.

To sign up for this service:

• Sign onto your Peoplesoft Student Centre
• Select "current home phone" under the "personal information bar"
• Select "add a phone number"
• From the pull down menu under the "phone type" column heading select "emergency text message number".
• Enter in the number of the phone to which you normally receive text messages. The number must be entered in the format of area code / phone number eg 403/555-1221
• Select "save".
