Concordia University Chicago offers an emergency communication service that uses CUChicago email, mobile/SMS text, the Rave Guardian/Rave Mobile Safety app and social media to notify students, faculty and staff about the following types of urgent situations:
- Health risk
- Safety risk
- Facility closure
- Course cancellation or rescheduling
All employees and students are automatically opted into the system but can set their individual contact preferences via the Concordia Connect portal. Individuals are responsible for providing and maintaining a current and accurate mobile phone number.
The mobile phone numbers provided for this emergency communication service (ECS) (a) are not published in any directory, (b) are not disclosed to anyone outside the University, and (c) are not used for routine University communication with the individual(s).
Emergency warnings and cancellations are issued by the Emergency Response Team (ERT) or the Department of Public Safety staff. Incident updates are issued by the Emergency Response Team (ERT).
The Rave Guardian app contains a directory of resources and emergency operations documents. Parents, family members and campus visitors may also access the Rave Guardian app. For more information, visit the RAVE Guardian page of the website.
