You are automatically opted in to the system, so if you want to opt out you must do so here: <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/nmc.edu\/text\" target=\"_blank\">nmc.edu\/text. <\/a><\/strong>We strongly encourage you however, to be signed up for these alerts. They are of vital importance should an emergency occur on campus. It is also the system through which we announce school cancellations and delays (along with radio and TV tickers as well.)<\/p>\n<p>If you have opted-in to receive messages and did not receive a test this month, check your NMC Self Service account, or contact the NMC Help Desk (231-995-3020). <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>NMC provides this optional service to assist with communications in the event of campus emergencies or closures.<br \/>\nPlease note that you must have SMS text messaging enabled on your cell phone account in order to receive celluar text messages from the NMC alert system.
