IMPORTANT NOTE!

No VoIP Phone Test will be conducted this month.

This test is conducted to ensure this component of the Emergency Notification System is functioning. A pre-recorded voice will be heard clearly. You will hear a short beep which will begin the messaging as follows:

“Attention! Attention! This is a test. I repeat, this is a test of the emergency communication system on campus, DO NOT TAKE ANY ACTION. This is only a test to familiarize the university community with the emergency notification system, thank you for your cooperation.” Followed by “The test is now completed, thank you for your cooperation.”
