When and How We Use SJC AlertMe

 

When We Use SJC AlertMe

In the event of an emergency occurring on or near campus, we will quickly notify students, employees, and the community of any potential hazards and give instructions on how to stay safe. We will also send out alerts if situations lead to our campus being closed or class cancellations.

How We Use SJC AlertMe

At San Jac, all San Jacinto College AlertMe messages will be sent directly to the San Jac email accounts of both students and employees. Email is our official communication method for students and employees. However, we may also use text messages, voice messages, and mobile app push notifications. Although SJC AlertMe is free, you may be responsible for data charges from your phone service provider for receiving messages.

SJC Alertme App

San Jacinto College now has an SJC AlertMe app, a free mobile app designed to keep students, employees, and community members informed and safe. Available in the Apple App Store and Google Play, the app provides instant alerts about severe weather, campus closures, and emergencies across all San Jac locations.

In addition to timely notifications, SJC AlertMe offers practical tools such as reporting safety concerns, accessing emergency plans and campus maps, and receiving important updates even without internet access. Families can also use features that allow students to check in or share their location when traveling to and from campus. SJC AlertMe is designed with privacy in mind. All optional features are opt-in, and users remain in full control of their personal settings and notifications.
