Campus Alert System

Alma College participates in an campus alert system called Blackboard Connect. As part of this service, the college has the ability to reach students, faculty and staff with immediate, time-sensitive information or announcements using campus phones, cell phones, email and text messaging.

Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to periodically update their personal campus alert contact information. After clicking on the “Update Your Campus Alert Contact Information“ link, review and update as necessary your email addresses; work, home and mobile phone numbers; as well as select the text messaging notification option. If your 10-digit ID number that is printed on your Alma College ID card does not automatically load onto the form, you will need to provide it.

Campus Security

The Campus Safety and Security Office, located in the Reid-Knox Administration Building, is open 24 hours, seven days a week and staffed with trained personnel from STT Security, a nationwide security organization. Call (989) 463-7777 to contact the security office.
