If you have questions about CU Safe alerts, please click here to send an e-mail so we can try to help. We will periodically test the CU Safe Alert system and will announce the tests in advance in e-mail messages and on the Web site.
CU Safe Alerts from Rave Wireless will inform you of emergencies or major disruptions to campus services. They will be sent to your Clemson.edu email address. You also can sign up to receive them as text messages on your cell phone.
E-mail alerts
Everyone with a Clemson.edu e-mail address will receive CU Safe Alerts via e-mail. These will be brief messages sent from the police department announcing that nature of the emergency. You also may receive CU Safe Alerts from the Media Relations office if there is a disruption to campus activities, such as a weather delay or cancellation of classes.
More details and all-clear messages will come via follow-up e-mails or will be posted on the CUSafety Web page when they become available.
If you do not receive an e-mail alert during an emergency, please check your spam or junk mail folder to be sure the message hasn't been directed there. Add clemson@GETRAVE.COM to your safe senders list.
Text messages
CU Safe Alerts will be sent as text messages to your cell phone if you signed up to receive them. The text-messaging system has no advertising messages or spam. They will be sent by police dispatchers or News Services. They will be brief — no more than 120 characters — so they will not result in multiple messages on your phone. Note: Check with your cell-service provider about possible fees when you receive these messages.
The text will state the nature of the emergency or disruption so you can take appropriate action. More information will be sent via e-mail or will be posted at www.Clemson.edu/CUSafety as it becomes available.
Because these messages are sent through different cell providers, some people will receive them more quickly than others. You should be sure to inform other people when you receive a CU Safe Alert. Text messages also may be delayed by other traffic, so the first warnings you hear may be the campus sirens. E-mail alerts also may be delayed by the volume of traffic, but they can provide information if you have not signed up for text alerts or can't hear the sirens.
