NAU Alert

NAU has partnered with e2Campus to provide a service called NAU Alert, which will send text messages to cell phones in case of an emergency, including weather-related closures. Students can also add an additional phone number, so that a friend or family member is notified of an emergency. 

The service is free and voluntary, but students are strongly urged to register. Only emergency or other urgent messages will be sent via NAU Alert, and the system will not be used to distribute advertising or other unsolicited content.

Students, staff and faculty must be registered to receive NAU Alert. Though the system is free, subscribers may have to pay fees associated with their text messaging service.

1. Go to the NAU Alert system.
2. Log in from the link on the right side of the screen to complete your registration validation.
3. Use the second login link, under "To make changes..."
4. Under the "Services" tab you may review the status of any mobile phone you have attempted to register.
5. For phones not currently "active", select "validate now" in the status column.
6. This will take you to the "Validate Mobile Phone" screen to review the mobile phone and carrier listed. Click on "Resend Validation Code".
7. Wait for the text message containing the validation code to display on the mobile phone. Enter the validation code in the "4-Digit Validation Code" field and click "Validate" to complete the registration.
8. Students can also register an additional phone number so they can register their parents on the program if they like.

Page keeps refreshing when trying to create an account?

If you have already registered for the NAU Alert system and attempt to use the "First time users register here" link, it will simply refresh the same screen again.  Occasionally people forget that they registered for the service in the past or attempt to use the wrong link when attempting to modify their account. Students, please contact the Student Technology Center for assistance. Faculty and staff, please contact the Solution Center.
