If there is an emergency on or around the GCU campus, the GCU Public Safety team will send alerts to all GCU issued computers, all TV screens on campus, and send text messages to students and faculty who are registered for the RAVE alert system.
Ground students are automatically registered for the AlertGCU system. Please keep in mind that the system pulls your emergency phone number from your student account, so we do recommend using a phone number that can receive text messages like your mobile number. You can manage your contact information from your Student Portal. When editing the information make sure there is a phone number in the Emergency phone field. You can find more information about updating your information in this article.
If you are not receiving AlertGCU messages, you may have opted out of the service or your phone number may not be up to date. We recommend updating the phone number listed as your Emergency phone from your Student Portal.
