Students, faculty and staff are reminded to signup for the University of New Mexico’s Emergency Notification System. TextMe UNM is an opt-in, campus-wide emergency notification system that provides UNM students, faculty and staff with fast, convenient, real-time message alerts. The service is available for emergency messages to the Albuquerque campus.
For direct access to the signup page visit: TextMe UNM.
Students, faculty and staff can receive important campus information via:
* Mobile Phone (text messaging)
* Web Page
* E-mail
* Text Pager
* Google, AOL or My Yahoo Page
Instant alerts can be sent to cell phones, e-mails, pagers and web pages. Any UNM subscriber will be allowed to enter up to two cell telephone numbers and two e-mail addresses. However, there is no system that is 100 percent effective. In the event of an emergency, not everyone is notified simultaneously. When an emergency message is sent, individuals are notified in groups by the emergency messaging service and cellular providers, which means messages may take several minutes to arrive.
TextMe UNM registration is for a default period of one year. Individuals will receive a reminder to re-enroll to continue receiving alerts 30 days prior to your account expiration.
UNM contracted with e2Campus, a self-service, selective mass notification system that empowers schools and colleges to send instant alerts and time-sensitive messages to parents, students, faculty and staff – wherever they are – all at once from one easy-to-use interface.
