Do not share your Miami password
Log out of all services/applications when using someone else’s computer
Never reply to email messages requesting personal information (Miami password, SSN, etc.)

Emergency Text Messaging System
IT Services supports a variety of communication systems designed to ensure that you receive appropriate and timely information to keep you as safe as possible. For time-sensitive urgent alerts, the Miami Emergency Text Messaging System, powered by Omnilert, sends a text message and/or email alert to all registered users. This system is used to notify Miami students and employees of imminent danger or campus closure and not for general communication. All first-year students will be automatically registered for Omnilert by fall.
Campus crime alerts and other high-level informational messages are sent to Miami email accounts and/or posted on myMiami. These notices are generally less time-critical.
