Illini-Alert Notification System

In January 2009, the University of Illinois switched to a new provider for its emergency text notification system.  The new system, which is offered by a company called MyStateUSA, has several improved features, including much faster delivery times, easier registration, and greater integrity in times of crisis because it is hosted off campus.

Another significant change is that the new emergency notification system allows students to invite two additional contacts to receive e-mail and text message notifications.  This is where parents come in!  When your student is prompted to register or review their registration for emergency notifications, be sure your student enters your e-mail address and cell phone as an additional contact.  You will then receive the same messages indicating a threat to the safety and security of the campus community.  We thank you for the role you play in ensuring student safety.
