E-Lert - Unsubscribe from Emergency Alerts

E-Lert: SIUE's emergency notification system, which sends urgent text messages and emails about campus safety, weather, and closures.

There are three ways to be removed from E-Lert. The fastest option is the self-service portal, which works any time as long as the E-ID and password are known.

Option 1: Opt Out Through the Self-Service Portal

Use this method if the E-ID and password are available.

1. Open the SIUE E-Lert page.
2. Click Sign-up now.
3. Enter the E-ID and password.
4. Click opt-out.
5. Click continue.

Option 2: Reply "unsubscribe" After a Recent Alert

This option only works within 8 hours of receiving an E-Lert text message.

1. Open the most recent E-Lert text message on the phone receiving the alerts.
2. Reply to the message with the word unsubscribe.

A verification email and text message will arrive the next business day to confirm the removal.

Option 3: Request Removal Through the ITS Help Desk

If the E-ID and password are not available and it has been more than 8 hours since the last E-Lert, the ITS Help Desk can submit a removal request.

• Call (618) 650-5500 during regular business hours from the phone number that is receiving the E-Lert messages.
• The Help Desk will verify the calling number against the caller ID and submit a ticket for an administrator to remove your number.
