Blackhawk Alerts emergency alert system

The Blackhawk Alert system is how SCC announces school closings, weather warnings, and other timely or urgent information.

Here are some things you can do to make sure you're getting our Blackhawk Alerts:

  • Verify that your student record information is up to date. Visit the Student Support Center to confirm.
  • You may have opted out. To opt back in, text "Subscribe SECC" to 23177. When complete, you will receive a reply confirming your request.
I'm not a student or employee but I would like to receive Blackhawk Alerts

To start receiving voice messages and text alerts, type "Start SECC" to 53291. When complete, you will receive a reply confirming your request.

I no longer want to receive Blackhawk Alerts

Current students and their emergency contacts, and SCC employees will receive Blackhawk Alerts. If you don't want to receive them anymore, contact Student Support Center and request that your information be removed from our contact list.

I have a new cell number or email. Will I still get Blackhawk Alerts?

No. Stop by the Student Support Center and provide your updated contact information. Our system updates every night so you'll be good to go.
