Test of WVU Safety Notification System scheduled for tomorrow (Sept. 1)

August 31, 2026

West Virginia University will conduct a test of the WVU Safety Notification System at 11 a.m. Tuesday (Sept. 1) on the Morgantown, Beckley, and Keyser campuses.

Students are automatically enrolled in the WVU Safety Notification System through their MIX email but should add their phone number to receive text messages if it has not already been provided.

If parents are also interested in receiving WVU Safety Notification System messages, students can add parental contact information through their accounts.

Faculty and staff must register for the Safety Notification System. If you are already registered, we encourage you to update your information and ensure it is correct prior to the test.

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.
