Campus Emergency Mass Notification System

Wouldn't you want to know immediately if an emergency situation was occurring on the Missouri S&T campus?

Tragic events on college campuses across the country highlight Missouri S&T’s need for mass emergency communications. To that end, Missouri S&T has introduced the new Mass Notification System (MNS).

In case of an emergency or disaster on campus, MNS sends you emergency alert messages. But we can’t reach you if we don’t have up-to-date contact information.

For students

Go to Joe’SS and update your contact information under Personal Information.  The new phone type of Text Messaging has recently been added.  Please be aware that you will be charged by your phone provider at the normal text messaging rate.  If you do not wish to receive a text message, leave this field blank.

For step-by-step instructions on how to change your contact information, visit the How To: Step-by-Step MNS update instructions entry in the KnowledgeBase.

For faculty and staff

Using Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater, go to the MIS web apps emergency contact page and enter your username and password.  You will then be able to update your contact information.  The new phone type of Text Messaging has recently been added.  Please be aware that you will be charged by your phone provider at the normal text messaging rate.  If you do not wish to receive a text message, leave this field blank.
