In cases of emergency affecting students and employees on the campuses of Ohio University Southern, we are implementing a system by which different means of communication will be used to share important information with students and employees.
Note: Your OAK e-mail address has been automatically included in this service. If you choose, you may add additional voice message telephone numbers and text messaging telephone numbers by subscribing at the bottom of this page.
Before registering additional contact information, you should know:
- It is your responsibility to provide and maintain your telephone/cell phone numbers and the name of your telephone/cell phone providers. If a message is returned to Ohio University Southern as undeliverable to the telephone/cell phone numbers you have provided, your information may be deleted from the system.
- Your cell phone service must permit text messaging to receive text messages.
- We will test voice, e-mail, and text messaging periodically as deemed necessary.
- Any charge incurred from your cell phone provider for receiving a text message, whether pursuant to a test of the system or during an actual emergency, is your responsibility.
- We cannot guarantee delivery of an emergency voice message, e-mail message, or text message to your equipment because delivery is dependent on your telephone provider, cell phone provider, or ISP provider, and on the University having the ability to send a message at a particular point in time.
- Entering telephone numbers on this system does not change your official telephone numbers on file with the university.
- Ohio University Southern assumes no legal liability if notice of an event or situation is not sent, or contains incorrect information, whether due to human error, equipment malfunction, or other circumstances.
- Note that updating your information will require you to re-enter all of your contact information details, not simply the details to be changed.
