The university announced June 1 that, for the first time, parents and the public will be able to sign up for

UNCWAlert

notifications

via this website

. This means that upon registering for this service, users will receive

UNCWAlert

text messages, phone calls and/or emails when they are issued by the university to all UNCW students and to employees who have opted in for the service. The university is pleased to offer yet another means of connecting parents and the public with the university, particularly in the event of emergency situations.
