When and How We Use SJC AlertMe

  1. When We Use SJC AlertMe

    In the event of an emergency occurring on or near campus, we will quickly notify students, employees, and the community of any potential hazards and give instructions on how to stay safe.

    We will also send out alerts if situations lead to our campus being closed or class cancellations.

  2. How We Use SJC AlertMe

    At San Jac, all San Jacinto College AlertMe messages will be sent directly to the San Jac email accounts of both students and employees. Email is our official communication method for students and employees. However, we may also use text messages, voice messages, and mobile app push notifications.

    Although SJC AlertMe is free, you may be responsible for data charges from your phone service provider for receiving messages.

SJC Alertme App

San Jacinto College now offers the SJC AlertMe app, a free mobile app that helps keep students, employees, and community members informed and safe. Download it from the Apple App Store or Google Play to get alerts about severe weather, campus closures, and emergencies at San Jacinto College locations.

SJC AlertMe also includes tools to report safety concerns, view emergency plans and campus maps, and receive important updates when you do not have internet access. Families can use features that let students check in or share their location when traveling to or from campus. The app is designed with privacy in mind. Optional features are opt-in, so you control your settings and notifications.
