Did you receive
an opt-in invitation text message?
If you received a
text message requesting you to opt-in to the college’s text message alert
service, it means that you already provided your phone number to Moraine
Valley, and Moraine Valley has contracted with SchoolMessenger to
deliver notifications to you.
An example of the
message appears below:
“Moraine Valley Community College alerts. Reply Y for aprx 5 msgs/mo.
Txt HELP 4 info. Msg&data rates may apply. Visit
schoolmessenger.com/txtmsg”
If you would like
to continue receiving emergency text messages from Moraine Valley, you
must reply affirmatively with one of the opt-in key words. Simply reply
to the original message (or send a text message to 68453) with either
the words "opt in" or "subscribe."
Note: If you do
not respond, then you have “Opted Out,” and you will not receive any
text notification. |
In the case of emergencies such as a school
closing, Moraine Valley will notify you by e-mail, phone message, college Web
site, and various news media outlets. The communication type used is based on
the requirements of the message to be delivered.
