Using a combination of text messaging and voice messaging, the emergency messaging service is designed to provide Bryant’s students, faculty, and staff members with timely information in the event of a campus emergency. However, if you choose to receive emergency notifications via text and/or voice messaging, you agree to incur any applicable costs from your carrier for receiving these messages. The system is not compatible with international telephone numbers.

Registering your emergency contact telephone numbers is quick and easy. Just update your Emergency Contacts in Banner.
