As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance safety on campus, the Michigan State University Department of Police and Public Safety is committed to testing our various mass notification methods to demonstrate how you can receive information during a threat or emergency. These messages ask people to take specific actions for their own safety and provide critical information. THIS MESSAGE IS ONLY A TEST.
As a current student, faculty or staff member of Michigan State University, you are automatically added as a recipient of the MSU Alert mass notification system. Students, we ask that you take a moment to update your contact information in the Student Information System (SIS). Employees, please update your contact information in the MSU EBS Portal. More information on how to do so can be found here
Once your contact information is updated, please log in to the MSU Alert portal to customize your notification preferences. Watch this video to learn more.
