The warning will be issued through the College's emergency notification system, called Rave, to students, faculty and staff via college email and text. Those communications systems include, but are not limited to, the college's e-mail system and text messaging. Platt College emails are automatically subscribed to the College's Emergency Alert System once individuals are officially enrolled as a student or for employees upon official hire date. Mobile phone numbers may be added to the system if individuals elect to receive text alerts; standard messaging rates with personal phone carriers may apply.  Students and employees cannot opt out of emergency messages delivered to Platt College-issued email address; however, students and employees may unsubscribe mobile phones by texting the word STOP to 67283 or 226787.
