This system has been approved by the Chancellor's Office with GCC being part of the initial implementation. All currently enrolled students were mailed a postcard last week that provided them with information on getting enrolled in the AlertU program. This week is the appropriate time for faculty and staff to enroll. It's an easy process that will take you about one minute to complete. You'll find the AlertU enrollment screen at: www.alertu.org/gcc. At this website, you will enter your cell phone number for future emergency purposes. For now, if needed, the system will immediately send out a text message to your cell phone. Within the next few months the AlertU system will be adding email notification that will be sent along with the emergency text message. Beginning in May, the college police will conduct a monthly test of the GCC emergency notification system. This test will assure that the system is functioning properly. AlertU system administrators will also test the system once a semester. AlertU system administrators are committed to maintaining your privacy. You will never receive any mobile phone spam, no personal information will ever be shared with anyone, only the Glendale Community College Police will have access to the alerting system and the AlertU system will be used only in the event of an emergency. The college police are committed to maintaining a safe environment for our students, faculty, staff and visitors. The addition of the AlertU mass notification system improves police operations and is a positive step forward in the ongoing process of emergency preparedness. Steven P.
