Keeping TNCC safe is of the utmost importance. To ensure that accurate, timely information is communicated about emergencies, the College employs an emergency alert system called e2Campus that sends text and email messages.  To receive these alerts, students, faculty and staff must register for participation. Those who signed up previously for e2Campus need to re-register as old accounts have expired.

Signing up for e2Campus is easy and will keep those registered informed about potential campus safety hazards, including campus closures due to weather. It is compatible with mobile phones, Blackberries, smart phones, satellite phones, email wireless PDAs and pagers. Normal text-messaging rates apply. There are no additional charges.
