This is the official UNCWAlert website and serves as an official source, along with UNCW email and UNCW's Facebook feed, of
emergency information and statements/responses from the university. UNCWAlert phone calls and/or text messages will be issued to employees and students in the event of an urgent update (e.g., the reopening of campus after a closure) or an immediate threat (e.g. a tornado warning, an active attacker). The university announced June 1 that, for the first time, parents and the public will be able to sign up for UNCWAlert notifications via this website. This means that upon registering for this service, users will receive UNCWAlert text messages, phone calls and/or emails when they are issued by the university. The university is pleased to offer yet another means of connecting parents and the public with the university, particularly in the event of emergency situations. Please be sure you are relying on only official university
messaging during emergency situations. Coronavirus/COVID-19 Information

Information for UNCW Students, Faculty and Staff re. Emergency Notifications
Designated as a Disaster-Resistant University, UNCW promotes a safe environment on campus through education, response and well-practiced plans for a variety of emergencies. The UNCW Alert system includes multiple communication tools that the university may deploy during an emergency. Pay attention to the university homepage, official social media feeds, emails, text messages, phone calls and other communications from the university. Student Notifications Student phone numbers are automatically registered to receive UNCW Alert emergency notifications by voice and text message. Students should follow these instructions to review or update their contact numbers. UNCW strongly encourages students to remain in the service to ensure they are always automatically contacted in the event of an emergency, but individuals may opt out by following these instructions. Faculty-Staff Notifications Only faculty and staff who have voluntarily registered their cell phone numbers with the university will receive UNCW Alert emergency text messages and voicemails during the test and in actual emergency situations. UNCW strongly encourages faculty and staff to register for these alerts. Please see these instructions (PDF) to register for the service, change contact numbers or opt out.
