The MU Alert system allows Marshall University to quickly communicate health and safety-related emergency information through a combination of various communication methods. In the event that information needs to be communicated to students and staff immediately, Marshall University will use several information delivery methods to make sure the pertinent information reaches you.<br \/>\nMU Alert will be used solely for the purpose of alerting the Marshall University community in an emergency. These emergency notices can be delivered via phone calls, text messages to mobile devices, and e-mail. All students, faculty, and staff can manage their own contact information and choose the contact methods that they prefer.<br \/>\n\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/emergency\/mualert\/\" target=\"false\" class=\"button link \">\n\t\t<span>SIGN UP for MU Alert<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n\t\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"\"><strong>More on How Do I\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/it\/departments\/it-service-desk\/howdoi\/\">IT Service desk page<\/a> for access to do-it-yourself help or technical assistance is available in-person, on the telephone, or online via email and live chat. \u00a0Some of the more common visits to the service desk include assistance with Username\/Password issues, connecting to MU_WiFi, setting up email on mobile devices, and downloading software.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"marsha-row mt-4 mb-4 flex flex-wrap -mx-2 lg:-mx-6  justify-start border-0 border-gray-100 first:mt-0\">\n\t\n<div class=\"columns w-full lg:w-3\/12  lg:px-6    mt-6\">\n<div class=\"\">\n\n\n<span style=\"\">Chat with Us<br \/>\nBelow<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"columns w-full lg:w-3\/12  lg:px-6    mt-6\">\n<div class=\"\">\n\n<a href=\"mailto:itservicedesk@marshall.edu\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:itservicedesk@marshall.edu\">Email Us<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"columns w-full lg:w-3\/12  lg:px-6    mt-6\">\n<div class=\"\">\n\n<a href=\"tel:3046963200\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"tel:3046963200\">Talk to Us<br \/>\n304-696-3200<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"columns w-full lg:w-3\/12  lg:px-6    mt-6\">\n<div class=\"\">\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/recruitment\/\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/recruitment\/\">Visit<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the Marshall University class of 2021! \u00a0The IT staff would like to welcome you to campus during your orientation sessions and once you&#8217;re on campus attending class or learning at a distance. \u00a0Information Technology has provided students with a Tech Tips sheet for student success that you will receive in our orientation packet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":118,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,80],"tags":[63,65,54,69,49,79,73,62],"class_list":["post-5417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mainnews","category-new-student","tag-communications","tag-email","tag-it","tag-mualert","tag-students","tag-techinfo","tag-technology","tag-wifi"],"acf":[],"fimg_url":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/118"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5417"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5417\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19901,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5417\/revisions\/19901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
