Columbus State has a text message alert system called Rave Mobile Safety, so sign up your cell today to receive these alerts. You won't be getting commercials. We're using it for emergencies on campus and snow days only. And the system is more than just text messages. You can also send it to your home email, or get voice messages to your home phone.
The video below will show you how to sign up, or you can just visit the Rave Mobile Safetysite. Once you get there, just sign in with your regular Columbus State username and password. (Use your CSCC login without the @student.cscc.edu)
Non-CSCC Students: Now parents and students from nearby colleges (such as Franklin University, CCAD or Ohio State) or businesses can sign up for Columbus State text alerts. Use your full email address (including @example.com) to sign up. Sign up for Non-CSCC Students

About the System
While GPS features on some cell phones can provide a general location, it's vital for subscribers using Rave Guardian to give specific locations in the virtual escort voice message or when speaking with 911 and campus police dispatchers.
