Emergency Notification

Emergency Notification

EWellesley College takes campus safety and security seriously. As such, the College is excited to announce that it has recently partnered with Rave Mobile Safety to deliver emergency alerts and weather-related school closures to the campus community. 

In the event of an emergency, the Wellesley community will be notified in various ways, including through text messages, email, and phone calls. Emails will come from “WC BlueAlert” and phone calls will come from 781-283-1000 and text messages will come from “WC Alert” with a five-digit number that will change with different alerts. These notifications use your College email address and the Primary Home Phone Number in Workday for text messages (if they are mobile phones) and phone calls. It is important for you to review this information periodically and keep them updated to receive notifications in case of an emergency. Please see the documentation here on how to update this information in Workday.

 

 

 
If I supply a cell phone number for text messaging, what message will I receive?

The confirmation message will state the following:

WCALERT: You are now confirmed to receive alerts from us. More info text reply "HELP" or "STOP WCALERT" to opt-out.

How do I change emergency information that I cannot update myself via the form?

STUDENTS - contact the Registrar's Office

EMPLOYEES (FACULTY, ADMINISTRATIVE AND UNION STAFF) - contact the Help Desk.

Can I opt out of email and voice messages?

No. You may only opt out of text messaging.
