Register for Bryant's Emergency Messaging Service

Bryant University has implemented a 24/7 emergency messaging service, BlackBoard Connect. Using a combination of text messaging and voice messaging, the system is designed to provide Bryant's students, faculty and staff members with timely information in the event of a campus emergency. Bryant University does not charge a fee for participation in this service. However, if you choose to receive emergency notifications via text and/or voice messaging, you agree to incur any applicable costs from your carrier for receiving these messages. The system is not compatible with international telephone numbers.

Registering your emergency contact telephone numbers is quick and easy. Just update your Emergency Contacts in Banner Self Service.
