On Thursday, March 20, the College of Charleston will conduct a test of the CougarAlert Emergency Notification System. The test messages will be sent (voice, text and e-mail) to all students and their designated emergency contacts, and all employees.
The system is set up to use contact data already present in your CougarTrail account, however in order to ensure prompt notification in the event of an emergency, all students, faculty and staff should log on to CougarTrail and make sure that their emergency contact information is current.
CougarAlert allows students to select up to five telephone numbers (their own or their family members) and two e-mail addresses to receive emergency alerts.
Students living on campus who would like to include their residence hall phone as one of their primary contact phones, must enter that phone number on their CougarAlert emergency contact information list.
Employees will be contacted by the system at all contact phone numbers listed in CougarTrail, as well as their College e-mail address, a personal e-mail address if one is entered, and a text message to cell phone numbers.
When you receive an emergency message from the College of Charleston’s CougarAlert System, the return e-mail address will be displayed as CougarAlert@cofc.edu, and Caller ID will be displayed as 843.725.7246 (this is the College’s Emergency Information Hotline). The CougarAlert system will only be used to notify students, faculty and staff in the event of a campus crisis or emergency.
