San José State University is committed to providing a safe atmosphere for the campus community, which includes students, faculty, staff and guests. Due to past incidents of violence and critical emergencies on other campuses across the country, San Jose State University has created a campus notification system known as ALERT SJSU. The system encompasses several means of notifying the SJSU community in case of an emergency.
ALERT SJSU is San Jose State University’s system for alerting students, staff and faculty in the event of a natural disaster or other emergency on campus. Emergency information and instructions will be sent via text message to your cell phone, via audio message to a cell phone or other telephone, and as an email notification. Please remember that it is important to sign up for all 3 notification options. Text messaging is limited by the number of characters and, depending upon your carrier, message delivery may be delayed between 30 60 minutes. The information you receive may caution you to avoid certain areas of the campus, let you know if classes are cancelled due to an emergency, or provide vital information on what actions you need to take if you are on campus during such a situation.
ALERT SJSU is an “opt in” program. To be contacted in an emergency, we strongly urge you to log into your MY SJSU and click on the ALERT SJSU page to enter your contact information.
