To register, visit the EACC Homepage (www.eacc.edu)
and click on “Information Links”. Under the “Student” section, click on “eaccALERT”
and select the “Sign Up” button/link. Then, enter in your EACC username and
password. This information will be the same username and password that you
use when logging into your EACC e-mail account. For example,
eacc\lastname.firstname would be
the username; your password will be the one you set when you established
your e-mail account. Please remember
to enter the domain name [eacc] and a ‘backslash’
before entering in your username.
Also, be sure to have your cell phone handy to complete the registration
process.
You will be forwarded to a web page that will allow you to create
an account within the eaccALERT (e2campus) system. When signing
up/subscribing to the service, you
must use your EACC e-mail account name (for example, if your
e-mail address is “smith.john@eacc.edu”, you must use “smith.john”)
as your USERNAME. However, for
security purposes, DO NOT use the
same password for this account as you use at EACC— the
password that you choose for eaccALERT will be stored within a third-party
vendor’s system and not within a campus system.
The type of messages you would receive via this text messaging
delivery service include ONLY:
-
Emergency
Alerts
– to communicate emergency situations on campus.
-
Campus Closings
– to communicate an unscheduled College closing, or a delay or
cancellation of classes due to, for instance, inclement weather.
In the ‘Opt-out By’ field, select the date that you wish to no
longer receive the eaccALERT messages. If you anticipate that you will
graduate in the Fall semester of 2008, for example, select an opt-out date
of December 31, 2008. You will be able to change this date in the future by
logging in to your eaccALERT account.
