SCHOOL CLOSINGS. WEATHER ADVISORIES. CLASS CANCELLATIONS.
With CampusCruiser ALERT™ (formerly known as CruiserAlert™) as part of an institution’s emergency protocol, administrators can quickly react to urgent situations with targeted campus safety information.

Subscription-based School Alerts
CampusCruiser ALERT is subscription-based, which means students, faculty and staff complete a simple mobile device activation process and subscribe to available CampusCruiser ALERT channels. Subscribers also select delivery options. Channels are established by each institution’s administrator.


Public and Targeted Channels
When creating a school alert channel, administrators can designate a channel as Public or Targeted. Public Alert Channels are open for subscription campus-wide, while Targeted channels are open only to invited group members, such as emergency response teams or department members.
Administrative Ease of Use
In the event of a crisis or urgent situation, colleges can now reach their key publics quickly and directly. To activate an alert, administrators simply type a text alert message and send it via the appropriate alert channel. It is automatically sent to subscribers.
Real-time Reports & System Management
Administrators have access to real-time CampusCruiser ALERT reports that provide system information, alert history, and a complete overview of the institution’s subscriber and alert status.
Emergency Alert Priority
School Alert channels can be configured for high priority distribution, which ensures the most timely delivery of text alert messages to subscribers. By default, emergency text alerts are always delivered with high priority and copies are automatically sent via email to all registered users.
CampusCruiser PORTAL Integration
CampusCruiser ALERT comes fully integrated with CampusCruiser PORTAL, CampusCruiser LMS. Because CampusCruiser ALERT is integrated into the CampusCruiser PORTAL with a dedicated top-level tab, college administrators do not have to switch to a completely different application with its own login and password to send an alert.
Full Integration with CampusCruiser PORTAL and LMS:
- Users have access to the same class and group memberships used in their PORTAL and LMS
- Instructors and community hosts, such as bursar and registrar, can send class-level and community-level alerts
- The contact database can store notification data for all CampusCruiser PORTAL or LMS users.
- Administrators can send periodic reminders to users to update their contact information.
- Only authorized administrators can send alerts via their password-protected CampusCruiser PORTAL.
- Alerts will be sent in accordance with the speed of Internet access and cellular network capabilities.
