K-State Alerts: Manage your notification settings
Submitted by Division of Risk and Safety
In spring 2024, the K-State Alerts emergency notification system was upgraded as part of the university's continuous efforts to evaluate and enhance security on our campuses. As part of the upgrades, all students, faculty and staff are automatically enrolled in K-State Alerts email and text messages.
K-State's goal is to keep you safe in case of an emergency and to relay time-critical information that immediately impacts our campuses, such as weather, campus operations, closures or other emergencies.
Students, faculty and staff are assigned a campus location based on where they work or attend classes as listed in HRIS or KSIS to receive alerts targeted to their designated campus. Online students and employees who work remotely are grouped together and will receive alerts for critical universitywide messaging regardless of location.
To manage your notification settings, visit the K-State Alerts online portal. Please take the following steps to review your contact information:
- Review preferred and mobile phone numbers for students in KSIS or for employees in HRIS.
- Review, delete or add other phone numbers or email addresses in the portal. Three total email addresses and three of each type of phone number can receive K-State Alerts.
- Text alerts are one of the quickest ways to receive emergency information and K-Staters are strongly encouraged to remain subscribed. If you do not want to receive K-State Alerts via text message, reply STOP if you receive a future text alert. NOTE: You may not unsubscribe from email alerts.
- If you wish to receive notifications from other campuses, you can customize your notifications in the portal. There are three options:
- Manhattan
- Salina
- Olathe
K-State visitors can still receive emergency text messages at all three campuses by texting KSTATEVISITOR to 67283.
Learn more about the alerts system and how you can customize your notifications on the K-State Alerts page.
