The Office of Campus Safety will conduct a full system test of the SEU Alert system on Thursday, November 17th. This test will include the activation of the SMS text and email communication methods via TopperText.  

This TEST is required by law and assists the University in evaluating the performance of our emergency notification system. The test lasts approximately 1 minute and all messages will clearly state, “This is a test of the SEU Alert emergency notification system. This is only a test.  No further actions are required.”  

Please make sure your contact information is correct to ensure you receive messages during a campus emergency. Log into myHilltop and click the TopperText (Campus Emergency Notifications) button under Quick Links and follow the prompts. Contact us at campus.safety@stedwards.edu if you need further assistance.
