Mass Communication Alert Systems:
All SCU active students, staff, and faculty are automatically enrolled in SCU Bronco Alerts. You may opt out of the alert system at any time.
SCU Bronco Alerts will consist of Emergency Notifications, Timely Warnings* and other types of safety messaging. They can be issued to the Campus Community via SMS text message, voice calls, email, and in certain situations, social media.
With JST in close proximity to The University of California, Berkeley, CSS recommends that the JST Campus Community subscribe to UCPD’s WarnMe alert system as non-affiliates as well as Nixle, the community alert system utilized by local law enforcement agencies.
Direct Links to subscribe to these services are below:
Campus Safety Services is subscribed to both WarnMe and Nixle services. Depending upon the location of the alert, and the incident's possible impact to the JST campus community, the Watch Commander on duty or other designee will determine whether to forward the alert via email to JST students, staff and faculty.
