By default, MidAlert! sends an email to all currently registered students and current employees' Mid Mich Email accounts. MidAlert! also calls the phone number you provided to the College.

You can adjust your MidAlert! preferences in Self-Service to allow text messages or decline voice and text messages. You cannot decline the email message that is sent to your Mid Mich Email account, this is a required system default.
