Adjust phone settings for Z-Alert to bypass Silent and Do Not Disturb
It's not only important to receive these texts but to always hear them. We've outlined some steps for iOS and Android to make sure Z-Alert text messages can bypass your phone being on silent and/or Do not Disturb. All users are encouraged to do this.
To unsubscribe
Users may unsubscribe at any time. The easiest way is to reply "stop" to the next text alert that you receive from us.
Periodic tests
The University will periodically test the Z-Alert system to assure that it is working properly. We will announce the tests ahead of time by sending an e-mail to students, faculty and staff. The test Z-Alert message will clearly state that we are conducting a test.
