the Informer

While attending the University of Hartford, students have the option to receive alerts and updates to their cell phones via text message.

Participation in this mass notification system, UHTXT, is completely voluntary and will not result in any type of advertisements or non-emergency text message alerts.

Since the service is completely voluntary students may choose to opt-in or opt-out to receive messages at anytime over the course of the year.

While the service is completely free, students who participate are responsible for any standard text messaging rates that are applied by the individual wireless service providers.

Benefits to subscribing to UHTXT include being informed of any threats that may being taking place on campus, information that the general community should know about, such as a water quality alert, and being alerted of school closings due to inclement weather.

Students must register for this service every year, meaning that if students registered at the beginning of their junior year and are now starting their senior year they must re-register.
