Íæż½ã½ãParents and Families
Íæż½ã½ãparents and families may receive updates via text by texting “SMUParent” to 226787.
During an emergency, SMU’s primary focus is on our students, faculty, staff and visitors. To minimize the potential of delaying messaging to those immediately impacted by the threat, please refrain from contacting the Íæż½ã½ãPolice Department and other Íæż½ã½ãdepartments. It is essential that the telephone system be available for emergency communications and staff remain focused on managing the emergency.
In the event of a critical incident, Íæż½ã½ãwill communicate pertinent information to parents and families as soon as possible. In the event of a severe University crisis, the University will provide up-to-date crisis information by one or more options previously identified as an Íæż½ã½ãAlert.
