Submit Your Emergency Contact Information

Student Sign-Up Instructions:

The SUNY NY-Alert system is designed to alert you in cases where your personal safety may be at risk. For this reason it is critical that you provide the SUNY NY-Alert system with your email address and cell phone number for text messaging. This personal information will only be used within the SUNY-NY-Alert system, unless otherwise provided by you previously. 

We consider this personal data critical and we strongly encourage your participation. The first time you enter BannerWeb you will be presented with the "Emergency Alert Notification" registration survey. Please follow the directions. You will be able to update your personal information at any time by going to the Personal Information Menu within BannerWeb.

Messaging and/or data charges from your carrier may apply to these messages.

Faculty & Staff Sign-Up Instructions:

For faculty and staff go online to http://www.suny.edu/sunyalertsec and select Cortland from the college drop-down menu.

1. Under enter user ID, type in the same name you use to log on to your office computer and also enter the same password you use on campus.
2. A SUNY Emergency Alert page will appear. Enter your appropriate contact information, then choose submit. If all the fields have been correctly filled, you will be able to select confirm and logoff.

We ask that you supply at least a single point of contact – an e-mail address or a phone number. If you choose to supply multiple points of contact, it greatly increases our chances of reaching you in the event of an emergency. Please do not supply a text-messaging number if your carrier is not listed on the menu. NY-Alert is working hard to expand its services to other carriers and we will have regular updates to the system.

Messaging and/or data charges from your carrier may apply to these messages.
