Get SMART!
The University of Tampa’s Emergency Text Messaging Service
The University of Tampa offers a free emergency alert text messaging service to students, faculty and staff. This is an optional service that will only be used in potential or developing emergency circumstances. You will receive a UT text message alert advising you of the situation and where to get additional information and details.
Nothing else. No advertisements. No gimmicks. No hassle. Just UT safety alerts and advisories when you need them.
Who can get SMART?
You must be a UT student, faculty or staff member to register for the SMART text messaging service.
Why should I get SMART?
Yes. UT SMART service cell phone numbers are not shared or sold to any other systems or services.
How many SMART text messages will I receive?
SMART text messages will only be sent to alert or advise you of emergency situations. The exact number is difficult to predict, but there should be very few. If your cell phone is turned off when a text message is sent, you will receive it after you turn your cell phone on, but only if you do so within seven days from the original transmission.
What do I need to get SMART and how much does it cost?
All you need is a cell phone with text messaging capabilities. There is no charge for signing up; however, individual cell phone plans may apply nominal charges for text messages, so check your cell phone contract.
Note: All landlines, most Tracfones and some pay-as-you-go phones will not register on the SMART system. We are sorry, but this is a limitation of the phone providers.
What if I change my cell phone service provider?
The SMART system recognizes changes in service providers and automatically send text messages to your new (current) cell phone carrier.
What if I am going to change my cell phone number?
Before you change your cell phone number you should opt-out of SMART using your old number/phone. Then sign up for SMART using your new number/phone.
How do I sign up for SMART?
Registering is quick and easy. Registration instructions:
If you are unable to register for SMART using your cell phone, you can register via the Web (Access code: 88911) at the following address: http://www1.readyalert.com/ivr/online-rns-register_UT.asp.
Or for registration assistance, send the following to Support@ReadyAlert.com.
You can opt-out (discontinue) at any time just as quickly and easily as you signed up. All you need is your cell phone. Instructions are included with the registration information.
UT’s SMART text messaging service is provided by Ready Alert, Gulf Coast Business Review’s 2006 Technology Innovation Award Winner for the Tampa Bay area.
As an important reminder, the UT Web site is the primary and most complete resource for current emergency information. The SMART text messaging service is just one of the methods the University will use to communicate emergency information to students, faculty and staff. If appropriate, global e-mails, global voicemails, BlackBoard, the telephone switchboard, flyers, local media and other communication tools will also be used.

Who can get SMART?
You must be a UT student, faculty or staff member to register for the SMART text messaging service.
Why should I get SMART?
- In emergency situations, when communication systems reach high capacity, text messages are more likely to get through when phone calls aren't.
- Most people carry cell phones, and therefore they will receive alerts even when they do not have access to a computer.
