HOYAlert

HOYAlert messages provide guidance in the event of an emergency impacting the safety or security of any of Georgetown University’s campuses in the DC metro area. HOYAlert allows users to receive messages via email, SMS text messaging and by following @HOYAlert on X (Twitter).  

All students, faculty and staff will receive HOYAlerts at their Georgetown University email address and at any cell phone numbers that the University has on file. If you would like to review or update your information, please visit Rave.

You do not need to opt in for HOYAlerts for your primary campus; however, if you would like to opt in to receive HOYAlerts for additional locations (e.g., opt in for the Capitol Campus if you are based on the Hilltop Campus) you can do so in GU360.

HOYAlert (emails and texts) will be used to notify students, faculty and staff about changes in the University’s operating status, including notifications regarding closings and delays. Inclement weather information can also be found by calling the inclement weather line at 202-687-7669 or visiting the University operating status webpage.
