CAMPUS ALERT SYSTEM NSU has emergency guidelines and operating procedures in place for a wide variety of possible emergency situations. Individuals should become familiar with emergency response procedures on the emergency information website in order to have a plan and know what to do before, during and after an emergency. Northern State University has implemented a Campus Alert Notification System, known as Everbridge, for students, faculty, and staff. This service allows NSU to deliver emergency alerts through a text, call or email. Students, faculty, and staff receive Campus Alert registration instructions via an email to their NSU email account. Once registered, notification settings can be modified by logging in to the Campus Alert System. Register at northern.edu/report.
