Students, faculty and staff, be sure to register your cell phone number in the campus directory to receive emergency text messages from the University.
Visit https://dir.unc.edu/dir/update/home.jsp , enter your Onyen and password and list your cell phone number (for an SMS-capable phone number) in the Alert Carolina field. Unless your cell phone is provided and paid for by the University, your number will be treated as confidential information. Providing your number will not result in it becoming public, unless you choose to have your entry marked “public” and displayed in the online directory. The University will only send text messages for a test and in an emergency. You can register your cell number whenever you update your Onyen password or check your password expiration date.
