Emergency Closing Policy
Please review Colgate’s complete Emergency Closing Policy. You may want to print a copy to take home with you in the event of adverse weather conditions. Feel free to contact us with any questions regarding this policy.
Emergency Notifications
It is extremely important for you to take time to ensure that your information is up to date in the ColgateAlert system so you can receive notifications should there be a University emergency. In the case of a delayed opening, closing, or campus emergency, notifications are sent out via this system.
The ColgateAlert link is available on the Colgate Portal (in the “Welcome” menu), and you can log in using your network username and password. There you are able to enter up to three email addresses, three mobile phone numbers, and three voice-only telephone numbers. In the case of a power failure, the University may not be able to provide updates by email, website notices, or media stations, so the ColgateAlert system is a critical way for you to receive emergency notifications.
Colgate Guardian App
The Colgate Guardian app provides a direct connection to campus safety, Colgate services, support, and resources. You can also provide anonymous tips, or use the safety timer feature to keep you safe anytime of day. For installation and frequently asked questions, please visit the Colgate Guardian app webpage.
