The Campus Alert System (CAS) is a mobile app designed to transmit critical information to faculty, students, school administrators and security personnel in the event of an emergency. The system enables designated users to send an alert from any smart phone.

PURPOSE: The CAS is invaluable in the event of critical incidents when sheltering in place becomes necessary, for weather emergencies, and other matters when quick communication is needed.

ACCESS: Download the free CAS app from the App Store, select the school with which you are affiliated, and indicate your category (student, faculty, etc.) to register.

FLASH ALERTS: Designated CAS administrators are able to send alerts to smart phones in the event of an anticipated or actual incident, enabling those on campus to take appropriate action in a timely manner. Alerts can be sent to single groups, multiple groups or all users.

BAD BEHAVIOR: Students, faculty and administrators can report problems to a central monitoring system in the event of a threat of violence or criminal behavior. Reports are strictly confidential.

GET HELP: This function allows individuals to seek help from a certified counseling service for issues such as addiction or suicide. The service is completely confidential.

FREE SERVICE: The Campus Alert System is free to colleges, universities and trade schools and is supported by local advertisers. Schools may establish an account by downloading the CAS in the App Store.
