Important Message About UMW’s Emergency Notification System:
The University subscribes to an emergency notification provider, RAVE Safety Mobility, for official emergency and inclement weather notices. Today, all new incoming students and new employees will receive an important email directly from RAVE asking them to log in to the UMW Alerts system. Please know that the University has sanctioned that email, and it is essential that you follow the instructions contained in that email.
If you are a member of the UMW community and have not registered for UMW Alerts, we urge you to visit https://www.getrave.com/login/umw. Click on the “Register” tab in the far right-hand corner. Once the account is created, please log in to the site and follow the instructions to customize how and in what order you prefer to receive the emergency notices. Please make sure to save your changes.
If you already have registered and want to make updates to your account, please log in to the site at https://www.getrave.com/login/umw and follow the instructions.
