University's mass notification system test today at 1 p.m.

Fort Worth, TX March 29, 2012

TCU will test of its mass notification system, TCU Alert, as well as the "light page" (a simplified version of www.tcu.edu designed to manage a larger volume of traffic) today at 1 p.m. The test was originally scheduled for Feb. 23, but was postponed.

These tests are conducted a couple of times each year to ensure the system works properly and that all audiences are comfortable with the system. The test will be sent to all email addresses, cell phones and land lines listed in the system, which pulls data from my.tcu.edu, at the same time. Because the test will simulate what will happen in an emergency situation, all methods will be sent at once, so recipients may receive an email at the same time as they receive a call and text. Recipients should reply to confirm receipt through one of the methods, otherwise the recipient will continue to get messages.

The TCU community may make changes/additions/deletions to their account on my.tcu.edu until 10 p.m. the night before the test.
