Lincoln University Emergency Text Messaging System

Lincoln university will determine that there is a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees on campus by utilizing LUPD personnel and/or other campus security personnel (i.e. Residence Hall Directors or Residence Hall Advisors, among others) to gather and relay information to the LUPD dispatch. The LUPD will inform the President's Office of any emergency or dangerous situation as soon as possible. 

Lincoln University will without delay and taking into account the safety of the community, determine the content of the notification and initiate the notification system, unless issuing a notification will, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond to or otherwise mitigate the emergency.  Notifications will be issued from the University Relations Office in cooperation with the Lincoln University Police Department and/or the President's Office. 

Lincoln University offers faculty staff and students the opportunity to sign up for the LU Emergency Text Messaging System.
