Emergency Alert System

For immediate notification of campus security issues, cancellation of classes or other emergencies, sign up for UDM's Emergency Notification System.

The system, provided in conjunction with Wayne County's Homeland Security Alert System, will send timely notices to you by text messages and prerecorded voice messages on your cell phones, hard-line home phones, text pagers or e-mails.

You may wish to add more email accounts or devices to receive notifications.  Registering more than one account/device is highly encouraged.

Log onto the Wayne County Alert System to register your preferred contact information (cell phone number, pager, e-mail address, etc.). The fastest notification is through text messages so be sure to register your cell phone number or text messaging devices.

Further instructions are listed below. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact UDM's Help Desk either by using the online Help Desk site or by calling 313-993-1500.
