Campus Alerts

In case of an emergency, make sure you get the message by signing up for campus alerts. When campus is closed, we have extreme weather or in other emergencies, ESU uses Rave to send alerts through multiple channels:

• Text message to your mobile device;
• Email to your campus email or another address you provide;
• On the homepage of emporia.edu; and
• ESU’s social media channels

You can sign up to see all of these messages here

To ensure your safety on campus, we have these alerts pre-installed on all university owned computers.

What if my cell phone number changes?
If your mobile number ever changes, please log into the ESU Rave site and update your contact details.

What if my cell phone provider changes?
