   EAGLE ALERT POST-TEST   
UNT’s Eagle Alert system sent a test message to students, faculty, staff and UNT System staff on Friday, Sept. 20. Because the Eagle Alert system is intended to communicate vital, urgent information in potentially life-threatening situations, the university maintains strict criteria for initiating an alert to the community. If you are on or near campus and receive an Eagle Alert, it is crucial that you pay attention to it.
Learn about Eagle Alert and check your contact information at my.unt.edu. We suggest saving an Eagle Alert contact in your phone, so you'll know the source of the call (940-369-8097) or text message (89361).
