- Crime Reporting - notice something unusual or wrong? Let Campus Safety know!
- Emergency Response Plans - prepare yourself in case of emergencies by reviewing Calvin’s plans for large disasters, threats or other emergency situations!
- Support Resources - other resources to help you with any crisis you’re dealing with!
CalvinAlert SMS System
The CalvinAlert system will sends SMS text and email alerts (no voice calls) to Calvin students, faculty, and staff. By default, all Calvin student emails have been automatically subscribed; students may need to add their cell phone to receive text notifications. Faculty and staff are also automatically subscribed to the new system.
- To view your subscription information, go to calvin.safety.info/subscribers/
- To update your contact information, go to Workday contact information page
If you wish to opt out of SMS text alerts, you must text the word "STOP" to 237-233.
