A Buckeye Alert system test will occur April 15. Students, faculty and staff on all Ohio State campuses will receive a text message that will be clearly identified as a test.
If a Buckeye Alert is issued, information will also be posted at emergency.osu.edu. If your cell phone number is already in Workday (for faculty/staff) or BuckeyeLink (for students), then you are automatically registered for the Buckeye Alert text messaging system. Faculty, staff and students have the ability to register up to two additional cell phone numbers to receive text message notifications. The system also sends severe weather alerts to the entire university community for tornado warnings.
More information about alert notices is available here.
