Emergency Alert

Effective communication can save lives when emergencies happen. In the event of an emergency, JCSU strives to provide quick and accurate communication to students, faculty, staff and guests through the use of JCSU Alert and emergency procedures.

Students, faculty, staff and visitors are encouraged to immediately report all emergencies, criminal activity and suspicious people to the Campus Police by calling (704) 378-1003 or x1004.

JCSU has developed emergency notification strategies to alert the campus of emergency situations. These tools are not intended for use in all instances, but are reserved for emergencies that present a broad, immediate and ongoing threat to campus.

In the case of inclement weather (including snow, hail, heavy rain), JCSU Alert will make an announcement to let students, faculty and staff of changes in the University schedule.

Violent weather by its nature is unpredictable. However, good communication and quick response throughout the JCSU community will minimize serious injuries. Every reasonable effort will be made to advise faculty, staff and students of the approach of violent weather.

A pandemic is a global disease outbreak. It is determined by how the disease spreads, not how many deaths it causes. The U.S. is not currently experiencing a flu pandemic. If a pandemic occurs, the federal government will work to identify the cause and create a vaccine.
