Norse Alert

NKU Emergency Contact System

Providing a safe and secure environment for our students, faculty and staff is a top priority at Northern Kentucky University. To provide timely notifications the University has partnered with Rave to create NORSE ALERT, which will contact members of the campus community in the event of an emergency situation or campus closing.

All Northern Kentucky University students, staff, and faculty are automatically registered in NORSE ALERT with their official university e-mail address and phone number provided. We encourage students, staff, and faculty to add other contact information, such as mobile numbers and personal e-mails, to their NORSE ALERT accounts. You will receive a reminder to update your information every six months when you log into myNKU.  Parents, visitors, and other interested parties may register for NORSE ALERT on a voluntary basis.

Depending on the type and location of the emergency, a notification may be sent using all of the methods, or a combination of the alert methods.
