The Department of Public Safety will activate the emergency notification system in the event of
severe weather, campus lockdown, or other campus emergencies.
This system will include
sending alerts via text message, email, cell phone email, and PDA/Blackberry. The system will
also allow for two-way communication for anyone responding to the alert.

Signing up for this system is voluntary, but strongly encouraged. There is no cost for students,
parents, faculty, or staff of Oakwood University. However, Oakwood University is not
responsible for costs incurred by enrollees from individual cell phone and electronic media
services providers.
