Dear all,

Changes to MCGILL ALERT! mobile device notifications

��SM�� — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 14:59:58 +0000

��SM��’s Emergency Notification System allows you to opt in your mobile device to receive alerts during time-sensitive situations and disruptions in the use of various buildings on campus.

In the past, some mobile phone carriers only allowed voice messages, not SMS text messaging. Today, all carriers support SMS, so we will switch all Emergency Notification System messaging to SMS for mobile phones starting September 18.

If your personal mobile device is configured to use text-to-speech, SMS notifications from ��SM�� will be read aloud.

New changes to the e-election platform!

We would like to advise you that the decision was made to replace the Omnivox solution with an existing, similar tool called Qualtrics. This will allow IT Services to streamline our solutions and reduce service duplication. In addition to this, the Qualtrics solution will bring enhanced features, improved data security, and a more user-friendly interface, all of which will significantly improve your e-election experience. The Qualtrics solution is now available upon request as of May 13, 2024.
