Frequently Asked Questions

Is E2Campus just for cell phones?

E2Campus system can send messages to any device that can receive text message (SMS) through cellular service, such as cell phones, text pagers, BlackBerrys, and some wireless PDAs. In addition, you can also opt to have the messages sent to your e-mail address.

When will I get a E2Campus message?

The University has created a well-defined set of situations that would prompt a E2Campus message. E2Campus only will be activated when there is a critical need to transmit urgent information to the campus community. Here are some examples:

  • Ongoingsafety threats in which an armed or dangerous criminal is at large oncampus.
  • Majorfacility emergencies or evacuations. This may include a large scale gasleak, fire, or hazardous material spill, occurring either on campus ornear enough to campus to cause a credible threat to members of the campuscommunity.
  • Severeweather or illness. This may include a threat from a tornado requiringthose on campus to take shelter, a closing due to anticipated weatherissues, or an outbreak of widespread illness on campus.
  • Timelynotification of crime. Though not all on-campus crime incidents will bereported via the E2Campus system in addition to CU usual methods, thosethat represent a possible threat to campus safety will be communicatedthrough E2Campus.

How can I get more information once I receive a E2Campus message?

Due to the limitations of text messaging, E2Campus messages will be very brief and contain vital and immediate information. More information about a E2Campus message will be made available through the other forms of communication available to the University, including messages posted to www.cheyney.edu, broadcast e-mails, and announcements to local media.

Will I get advertising messages from E2Campus?

No. E2Campus will not be used to deliver any kind of advertising content, and mobile numbers will not be shared with any third parties.

Can my parents or guardian subscribe to E2Campus?

The University has arranged for a limited number of subscriptions only for CU students, faculty and staff members.

Does signing up for E2Campus cost me anything?

There is no cost to sign up for E2Campus. The only charges you incur would be the normal fees charged by your mobile service provider for receiving text messages.

Why is E2Campus necessary?

The University has a wide variety of methods to communicate with members of the campus community. In recent years, the number of mobile telephones has dramatically increased, and text messaging has become a key method to reach people immediately. The E2Campus service allows the University to use the most up-to-date communication method to reach students, faculty and staff in the event of an emergency in addition to the University’s other established communication methods.

What if I don’t have a cell phone or my cell phone doesn’t have text messaging?

E2Campus is just one of the communication channels used in the event of an emergency. It is not replacing any of our other previous methods of communication. It is building on those existing methods to keep up with the latest technology used by many members of our community.
