SNAP Alert

Text messages to mobile phones regarding campus emergencies.

• Find out if classes are canceled or virtual due to weather, power outages or other unexpected events impacting campus.
  
  
• Get severe weather notifications so you can take shelter when a storm hits.
  
  
• Receive emergency messages when something or someone could be a threat to your personal safety.

All students, staff, faculty, and members of the community.

Your preferred phone numbers and/or e-mail addresses entered into Student Self-Service or the Employee Information Center will also be used for SNAP messages during an emergency at your college. The same contact information that is used to inform you of academic/employment questions or concerns will now also be used to notify you if there is a weather emergency, safety threat or campus closing/delay.

To make sure you are receiving messages at your current phone number(s) or e-mail address:

• STUDENTS Update your contact information by logging into the Student Self-Service. You'll receive SNAP alerts through calls to your 10-digit preferred phone number, text messages are sent to any mobile number listed in your student record and emails are sent to your kctcs.edu email address. Make sure you have a mobile number listed if you want to receive text messages.
• KCTCS EMPLOYEES Update your contact information in PeopleSoft. You'll receive SNAP alerts through messages at your work extension, text messages sent to any mobile number listed in PeopleSoft and an email message sent to your kctcs.edu email address. Make sure you have a mobile number listed if you want to receive text messages.
