Emergency Notifications

Trapper Alerts

In an emergency or crisis situation, Northwest College immediately notifies students and employees.

• Alerts are sent as texts, emails and voice messages to every individual enrolled in the Emergency Notification System.*
• The campus public address system broadcasts situation statements and directions.

Additional measures will be taken if the situation warrants.

• An emergency message or notification will appear on your MyNWC portal.
• The NWC home page (nwc.edu) may be replaced with an emergency statement about the situation and a continuous feed of updates.

Timely Warnings

Trapper Alerts may also be used to warn students about events/situations on or off campus that can pose an ongoing or continuing threat to individuals or property. Timely warnings will be issued when information is received by the college about pertinent infractions in the community involving —

• Arson
• Burglary
• Robbery
• Aggravated assault
• Criminal homicide
• Sex offenses
• Any other emergency as deemed necessary

*When you enroll in classes, you are automatically enrolled in the NWC Emergency Notification System. However, you should check your MyNWC periodically to make sure your phone number is up-to-date.
