Columbia uses an emergency response communications tool, SendWordNow, to get news of catastrophic and emergency situations out to students immediately. You will receive text messages, phone calls, and emails the minute news pertaining to any form of emergency situation is issued. In order to receive these updates, you must provide the college up-to-date emergency contact information to ensure the system works.
Directions:
1. Login to OASIS.
2. Click the ‘Students’ tab along the top.
3. Click ‘Address/Emergency Update’ inside the ‘Student Profile Portlet’.
4. When the update window opens, students must select “Yes” to give Columbia permission to contact them in case of an emergency. By default, the permission field is marked “no.”
5. Update the appropriate fields with current emergency contact information.
