Emergency alerts at CSUCI is a collaborative partnership between the University's Police Department and Marketing & Communications to keep the campus community informed during emergencies. In the event of an actual emergency or serious incident on campus, the University will notify the campus using a variety of communication tools.
These tools may include announcements over campus loudspeakers, emails, calls, and text messages sent through the CSUCI Alert emergency notification system, the University’s social media channels @csuci (Instagram, Facebook and X), shared on our Emergency Information Hotline at 805-437-3911, our News Center, or banners at the top of our website.
