Roosevelt University Emergency Text Messaging Service Signup

Roosevelt University has implemented a cell phone text-messaging service that will help you keep informed in the event of a University emergency. This service is available to all students, faculty and staff. For more information about this service see the Text Messaging FAQ page.

In order to make use of this service you must first sign up using the form below. Your submission of this form signifies your consent to receive emergency text messages from the University.

Signup instructions:

1. Make sure you have your cell phone with you when you submit this form because you will need it to complete the process.

2. Enter into the Username field your choice of a user name (it can be the same as your RU email ID but that's not required). Your personal username, along with your selected password, will give you with access to the e2Campus web site to modify your subscriptions and cell phone numbers.

3. In order to receive emergency messages at least one optional group must be selected. By selecting the All Roosevelt group (the default) you will be sure to receive all essential emergency messages. You may also join one or both campus-specific groups to receive announcements that pertain only to those locations.

4. When you complete the form and click the Create Account button you will be presented with a confirmation page. A few moments later you should also receive a text message on your cell phone containing a 4-digit validation code. (The message may also contain a 5-digit number. Be sure to use the 4-digit number). Enter the 4-digit validation code into the confirmation web page to complete the process.

Notes

In order to complete the validation process your cell phone must have SMS text messaging enabled. If you don't receive the validation message this may be the cause. Check with your provider for assistance.

If for any reason you are unable to complete the validation process at this stage you can do it later from your personal e2Campus account management web page, which is created for you when you submit the form. Point your browser to http://www.e2campus.com/my/roosevelt/ and log in using the username and password selected in step one above. Once you have logged in click the "Services" tab and follow the directions on that page to validate your phone number or add a different one. For detailed information on confirming your registration, see the membership confirmation user guide.

You can use the link at the bottom of the signup form to sign up to receive a copy of all emergency messages in the form of email. This is a separate service, and is available to you even if you don't have a cell phone. Once you have created your text messaging account, you can add the email option from the service page at any time.

Please report any problems to the RU Help Desk (312-341-4357, or online at http://www.roosevelt.edu/helpdesk).
