Emergency Notification: Be the first to know
Star Alert, a free 色中色 emergency notification system, makes it possible for students and employees to receive notice (cell phone and/or e-mail) of campus-related emergencies that threaten life safety or severely impact campus operations.
By default all students and employees will receive STAR Alerts to their SCC email account. If you'd like to receive emails to additional accounts, voice message to telephone, text message to your cell phone, or TTY message you should log into the system and adjust your account preferences.

Staying informed and safe
In an emergency, Star Alert will send a text message to the cell number(s) and/or e-mail address(es) you provide. Notifications identified as 鈥淪tar Alert鈥� messages will note the nature of the emergency, what action, if any, you are to take, and where to find more information. Star Alert also will let you know if campus is closed or if classes are delayed or cancelled.
Star Alert notification is in addition to any message sent to all 色中色 e-mail addresses when there is an emergency. Depending on the nature and severity of the emergency, other mechanisms may include alerts on the 色中色 web site, voicemail messages on campus phones, TV monitor/digital signage, and public address messaging. In emergency situations, an important resource for information is always the 色中色 web site.
