Did you get WVU Safety Notification System test?

September 3, 2026

To ensure proper communication during an emergency, West Virginia University conducted a test of the WVU Safety Notification System at 11 a.m. Tuesday (Sept. 1) on the Morgantown, Beckley, and Keyser campuses.

All students should have received the test through their MIX email account.

If you are a student and did not receive the test, please check your registration.

If you are a faculty or staff member and did not receive the test, we strongly encourage you to register for or check your registration with the WVU Safety Notification System.

A WVU Alert is sent through all possible communication channels when there is an imminent threat or impact to the safety of the campus community, including when the University is operating on a delayed schedule or is closed due to emergency weather conditions.

All members of the University community are encouraged to download the LiveSafe app and allow push notifications to receive important safety messages. Other app features include the abilities to anonymously report tips to WVU Police through direct two-way communication and to virtually walk home with friends or family.

Usage of both the WVU Safety Notification System and LiveSafe is highly recommended to allow for redundancies in critical emergency communications.

We also suggest all students and employees on the Morgantown Campus follow @WVUsafety on X, WVU Safety and Wellness on Facebook, and @wvusafetyofficial on Instagram to receive important updates.
