Alert SJSU

The Alert SJSU Notification System is a program under the University Police Department that serves to quickly disseminate emergency information to the community during incidents. This program was created in order to reach our goal of creating a safe environment for the campus community which includes guests like parents and visitors.

• How AlertSJSU Works

  • Alert SJSU is how students, staff, and faculty get notified of emergency events or conditions that threaten the health and safety of the campus community primarily through email, text messages, and indoor speaker phones. Indoor speaker phones can be located in campus offices, classrooms, parking garages, and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library.

    The information disseminated via Alert SJSU will describe the emergency and may caution you to avoid certain areas of the campus, let you know if classes are canceled due to an emergency, or provide vital information on what actions you need to take if you are on campus during such a situation.

• How Else Will the Campus Be Notified of Emergencies?

  • Additional information may be disseminated beyond the primary avenues of communication through various systems which include:

    The Spartan Safe App which sends push notifications to your mobile device. The campus radio: KSJS 90.5 FM. The university hotline: 408-924-SJSU. Campus social media accounts. And campus digital television screens typically located in lobbies of certain buildings.

• How Do I Opt-Out or Update My Alert SJSU Information?

  • Alert SJSU is an “opt-out program” for all currently enrolled students and active employees. This means that everyone is enrolled in the notification system automatically based off of the provided phone number and email address maintained in OneSJSU.
