DPU Alert & Emergency Contact Information

There are two equally critical places students need to submit contact information to help DePaul University help to take care of YOU and DePaul.  Both are in Campus Connect  under the students' “My Profile" section.  See details about each below and follow the directions to sign up:

DPU Alert - DePaul's Emergency Notification System

Signing up ensures you will be notified of any emergency situations that require your awareness or direct you to take steps to keep yourself/your community safe.  While we ask that you provide your personal cell phone and email address, you may also add additional numbers and email addresses – such as parents or guardians.   Students can go to Campus Connect under “My Profile" and “DPU/Academic Alert" to submit your personal contact information. 

Consider adding an entry for DPU Alert in your contacts. The number for voice messages originates from (312) 362-6226. Text messages will typically originate from 89361. Email messages will be sent from "DPU Alert" at Alerts@publicsafety.depaul.edu. Neither the phone number nor the email address will accept replies. 

Personal Emergency Contact Information

Students need to provide personal emergency contact information for DePaul to reach out to when an emergency arises.  This is most often a parent or guardian.  Students can go to Campus Connect under “My Profile" and “Emergency Contacts" to enter your emergency contacts.
