How to Sign Up for UIU Alert

Students: 

Update your phone numbers and email address on the UIU Alert registration form.  Sign the form and return it to the Office of Student Development, lower level of Garbee Hall, by May 2.

If you do not have a copy of the registration form, you may download a copy here. 

Staff and Faculty 

An email message was sent to each employee with their ID number and a link to the UIUAlert portal where contact information could be updated.  Please refer to that email message or contact Tammy Carolan (carolant@uiu.edu or ext. 5337) for more information.

All personal information will be maintained in the strictest confidence.

At this time, UIU Alert registration is available only for Fayette Campus students and staff.

Test of UIU Alert

During the week of May 19, we will launch UIU Alert with a test run. 

Important UIU Alert Notification Delivery Notes

1. When you receive a call from UIU Alert, your caller ID will display "563-425-5200."  When you receive a UIU Alert text message, your caller ID will  display "23177."  You may wish to save this number in your contact list as "UIU Alert." 
2. For emails, the email ID (sender) will be UIUAlert@uiu.edu
3. When listening to a message, please be aware that background noise will cause the system to "stop and start."  It is calibrated very delicately to determine whether a person or an answering machine has picked up the phone, and background noise may affect the delivery.  If possible, move to a quiet area, or press the "mute" button on your phone.
4. If you missed any part of the message, please stay on the line and press "*" (star) to hear the message again.
