How do I know if the University is closed/closing due to inclement weather or other emergency purposes?

Columbia faculty and staff with access to People at Columbia (PAC) can register for or opt-out of text message notifications by logging into mycolumbia.edu using your UNI and password. 

Within the “View or Update Your Personal Information” section, look for the “Campus Alert” fields and add your cell phone number and those of family or friends you wish to register (up to 3 total) in the “Campus Alert 1”, “Campus Alert 2” and “Campus Alert 3” fields. To opt-out, simply remove the number(s) and save. 

Keep in mind, only numbers listed under the three “Campus Alert” fields will receive emergency text messages; “Mobile” and “CU Mobile” will not.
