Campus Text Notification System

Iona University utilizes Omnilert, a notification system that sends a text message to your cell phone advising you of campus alerts.

All users receive these notifications:

  • Weather cancellations and delays
  • Emergency conditions
  • Changes in parking conditions
  • Critical issues

To ensure receipt of important text notifications, confirm your mobile phone information is correct in PeopleSoft (students) and/or Paycom (faculty and staff). Follow the instructions below to update your information.
