Star Alert Emergency Notification System

Star Alert is Itasca's emergency notification system.  It is a service that uses text and email messaging to notify people of campus related emergencies.  Star Alert is an "opt-in" system, meaning that it is optional, and that you need to sign up for it in order to receive the emergency alerts. All Itasca students, faculty and staff are invited to participate by registering their cell phone numbers and email addresses.

The services is spam-free and advertiser free. Star Alert is only used in real emergencies. If the campus is experiencing a crisis situation, is closed, classes are cancelled or postponed, or other critical information must be conveyed, it will be communicated via the Star Alert system. Star Alert will not be used to notify users of individual class cancellations.

Star Alert is a free service provided by Itasca Community College, however, normal message fees may apply. To receive text messages to your cell phone, your cell phone must have text messaging capabilities. Notifications are dependent upon external providers. Itasca Community College cannot guarantee notifications will be received by the intended recipient.

Registration is free, and participants must be able to receive text or email messages on their cell phones. The process is quick and easy and can be reversed if the service is no longer desired.
