The information you provide will only be used in the event of an emergency that impacts the health and safety of the UH community or closures of whole campuses.

Fine print

  • A test text message will be sent each semester. Depending on your plan, you may be charged by your cell phone carrier for this message.
  • Although we will make every effort to deliver emergency information, due to limitations with public carrier networks we cannot guarantee you will receive an emergency message.
  • The use of this capability will be limited to emergency communications. Emergency communications are defined as urgent notices regarding matters that impact the health and safety of members of the UH community and closures of whole campuses. This determination will be made only by the president, vice presidents, chancellors, vice chancellors and formally designated emergency coordinators.
  • We will not give, rent or voluntarily supply your information to any third party for any reason other than emergency notification.
