Wondering if classes are cancelled? 17³Ô¹Ï has an app for that!
As part of 17³Ô¹Ï’s commitment to safety, the University has launched a new, free safety app called 17³Ô¹Ï SAFE to advise the community about university/storm closures, crisis situations, and safety-related issues, as well as offer health and safety information.
While 17³Ô¹Ï student, faculty, and staff emails have been automatically entered into 17³Ô¹Ï SAFE, community members are encouraged to download the app from the App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play (for Android devices) in order to receive push notifications and to access a full menu of features such as Mobile BlueLight, Friend Walk, and WorkAlone. Community members who do not have a smartphone or a supported app platform may subscribe to receive notifications by text (SMS) over cell connections by texting the word 17³Ô¹Ï to the short code 723389. (Standard data and message rates may apply.)
Notifications about crisis situations and university/storm closures are pushed through 17³Ô¹Ï SAFE as well as emailed to student, faculty, and staff @ email addresses. Messages are also posted on the 17³Ô¹Ï home page (), the 17³Ô¹Ï Campus Screen network, and on Twitter (@17³Ô¹Ï). Messages may also be broadcast in 17³Ô¹Ï buildings through a public address system.
