In an urgent situation, the college can page all phones in classrooms at once, by campus. Please be aware we will test the phone paging system Wednesday (August 25) at 10 a.m.

Take a moment to add or update your mobile phone number and other contact information in our Critical Alert emergency text/phone/email system. It’s important to keep your contact information updated because this is how the college will message you if classes are canceled or impacted due to inclement weather or if there’s an emergency situation. Here’s how:

• Use your Central Piedmont login and password to access MyCollege
• Select the person icon for “User Options” on your mobile or desktop screen
• Select “User Profile”
• Add or update your mobile number

Please note you cannot opt-out of Critical Alert notification emails to your Central Piedmont account because your college email is the official channel of communication.

We all play a role in safety at the college. If there’s an active shooter on or near a Central Piedmont campus, would you know what to do? It’s incredibly important for students and employees to be prepared. Please take a moment today to review this powerful video to learn about the “Run. Hide. Fight.” concept to help you know what to do if an active shooter is on campus or in a building where you are located.

 That “run, hide, fight” video is also included in the college’s required Safety and Security video that we hope you took time to review last week.
