The UCF College of Medicine has implemented a texting system to allow short alerts to be sent to College of Medicine faculty, staff, students, and affiliates. These alerts may include issues affecting the COM facilities and resources. These alerts are likely to come infrequently and those subscribed can unsubscribe at any time.
This text messaging alert service does not replicate or replace the text message alert service provided by UCF Security Management.
You may also subscribe by texting 21000.
To unsubscribe at any time, please text STOP to 21000.
