ABOUT NOC RAVE ALERT
91成人 implemented an emergency alert system in 2012 to ensure the safety of all students and employees during an emergency situation. The NOC Rave Alert provides a simple, yet powerful, hosted communication platform that allows the College to communicate with users via multiple modes of message delivery. Messages can be sent to cell phones, land-lines, college email addresses and social media.

MONTHLY ALERT TESTS
NOC conducts a test of this system the first day of each month. If you do not receive a test text message on your cell phone, please contact the Webmaster at 580.628.6330. If you receive the test text message and no longer want to receive these messages, you can opt out by logging on to听, click the 鈥淣OC Alert鈥 tab and follow the online instructions. If you opt out, you will still receive email messages since you cannot unsubscribe to your NOC email address.
