UWG Emergency Alert
The University of West Georgia has contracted with Schoolcast to provide emergency notification services to our campus. This service allows you to be notified in the event of a emergency via your cell phone, text message, landline or e-mail. You may register as many phone numbers and e-mail addresses that you want and may include your parents numbers. There is no charge for the service and everyone is encouraged to enroll. Once registered, please make sure that you keep your information current.
The system will only be used when there is imminent danger to the campus. Examples would include tornado warnings,chemical spills, orders to evacuate or shelter in place, and active shooters. We will not use the system to distribute information that can be found through other outlets. This is being done to ensure that you know if you receive an UWG Emergency Alert that it is important information you need to know about.
