Axe ’Em, Jacks!
SFA's Emergency Management division is the primary issuer of campus alerts. This campus notification system is in compliance with the Clery Act requirement for timely notifications to provide students, faculty and staff with timely notification of crimes that represent a serious or continuing threat to the campus community and heighten awareness. For more information, review HOP policy 05-518.
What devices can I register?
You may register:
- cell phones to receive text messages and voice calls
- home or office phones to receive voice calls
- email addresses other than your SFA account.
You can register up to three devices or addresses in each category. This will allow you to add parents, guardians and/or spouses. The two numbers used when receiving text alerts are "67283" and "226787." Users should save these numbers in their contact list under "Jack Alert."
Will the outdoor siren system be changed?
The outdoor siren system does not change, and will continue to be tested monthly. Jack Alert compliments the outdoor siren/speaker system.
