No, the CoM Texting solution does not replace the UCF ALERT text messaging system, which is available under the myUCF login and via https://www.ucf.edu/alert/. If you are Opting in to receive emergent alerts from the CoM, you will only receive messages when emergent issues arise.
CoM Text messages will only be sent out as appropriate when emergent issues arise. At this point, we do not know the frequency of texts that will be sent out. We will try to send out as few as possible.
Keywords are assigned to specific units within the CoM to enhance communication. Depending on the keywords you are opting into, you will receive text messages appropriate to each unit.
- Please email HealthIT at helathIT@ucf.edu.
Depending on your service provider and cellular data plan, data rates may apply.
Each text message will have a maximum of 160 characters. Depending on the keyword you are opting into, the appropriate level of detail will be provided within the text message. If a lengthy message is warranted, a high-level description followed by a link to where more information can be obtained.
