In an effort to maintain a positive and informed campus community, Mid utilizes the MidAlert! notification system. This allows the College to relay different types of notifications to the campus community.
Emergency notifications are sent to all active Mid Mich Email Accounts. Current students are, by default, automatically enrolled to receive automated voice calls to their newest number on file.
Students, faculty, and staff need to adjust their preferences using Self-Service in order to receive notifications via text, update their preferences, and receive MidAlert! general campus information, or to opt out. Students who select to opt out of MidAlert! should understand that in an emergency situation, notifications would be received ONLY through their Mid Mich Email. Emergency notifications are also posted on Mid's homepage.
It's important to remember that MidAlert! preferences must be reviewed and confirmed every year; otherwise, the default setting will take effect.
