* Important information regarding the Family Email Address and Family Text/SMS
These contacts will be used only under extreme circumstances when the University deems it necessary to send a separate notification to extended family contacts regarding a serious situation. This is NOT a way to contact you, but to reach your 'next of kin or key contact' to keep them informed.
Once you complete this process, you will have successfully registered your additional contact details in U of G Alert. If any of your contact information changes, remember to come back to your U of G Alert account and update them.
