When will the college send me emergency alerts using MCC Alerts?
MCC Alerts will be used to inform recipients when a dangerous condition exists on campus (e.g. active shooter, storm in process, dangerous debris from storm), when a decision to close the campus has been made or when a decision to reopen the campus following a forced closure has been made.
Who is eligible to sign up for MCC Alerts?
Current students, staff, and faculty are eligible to sign up for MCC Alerts. If desired, MCCers could add their parents, children, or spouse’s phone numbers when they sign up for MCC Alerts.
How often is MCC Alerts tested?
Twice per year on specified days. Tests ensure that the MCC Alerts service is functioning properly. You will be notified in advance of the test.

What happens after I graduate or am no longer employed by MCC?
You may disable or delete your MCC Alert account at anytime by texting replying “stop” to any alert message.
