OUR NEW ELECTRONIC EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM – in the event of an emergency, you will receive an alert via SMS, email, phone or text message.

WHAT IS IT?
All students are encouraged to subscribe to The Art Institute of Seattle’s new electronic emergency notification system, known as The Art Institute of Seattle AlertFind. In an emergency, The Art Institute of Seattle AlertFind will enable college officials to reach YOU through the technology of your choice.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The new system can transmit short notifications by email to any outside email address, by text message to a cell phone, or by voice message to an off-campus telephone.

WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT?
The information in the emergency notification system will be used primarily to contact you in case of emergency, an evacuation due to a natural disaster, or some other urgent situation that requires rapid, wide-scale notification of The Art Institute of Seattle community.
