Bryan College utilizes a rapid alert and notification system to provide the campus community with immediate notice in the event of an emergency.

Students, faculty, and staff are able to enter or update their own preference for contact information (cell phone or landline number or both) through their MyBryan account. Email addresses are already entered.

The emergency notification system is used only for emergency notifications or weather alerts.

• Never give information about another student to people you don’t know.  Phone numbers, place of residence, or even a student’s whereabouts should not be given to strangers.  Visitors who are looking for a student should be directed to the Office of Student Life or to a Resident Director.

• All outside doors to residence halls are to remain closed and locked at all times.  An ID card is required to open these doors. No one without card access should be allowed in residence halls without the approval of the Resident Director.

• Students are strongly encouraged to keep their rooms locked.  The college is not responsible for students’ personal property.
