If this is an emergency Dial 911
You may also call UNE Security at Ext. 366.
Emergency Notifications
The University of New England is prepared to meet the need for immediate notification as part of its Emergency Response Plan. We have numerous ways of distributing urgent information in the event of an emergency.
To ensure you receive these important messages sign into UNE Compass account and click on the main menu in the upper left-hand corner. Click on “My Self-Service,” “General Services,” “Personal Information,” and then go to the “Phone Number” section. Here you will have options to enter three different alert phone numbers: UNE Alert1, UNE Alert2 and UNE Alert3. We encourage you to list your cell phone number as UNE Alert1 and then two secondary numbers if you would like. Please do not put the alert information under “Emergency Contact” as that is not the correct section for emergency notification alerts.
Rave Mobile Safety
UNE uses Rave Mobile Safety, an emergency notification service that provides faculty, professional staff, and students with timely information and instructions during emergencies or other urgent situations that may directly affect their well-being.
This platform allows us to stay connected with the UNE community and provide critical information in real time during emergency situations on campus or in the surrounding communities, alerts during school closures, and information about weather-related events.
Rave Guardian mobile app
Included in the platform is the Rave Guardian mobile app for smartphones, available for download on the App Store and Google Play.
Within the Rave Guardian app, you can:
- Make emergency calls to 911 based on your current location
- Call UNE Safety and Security to request assistance
- Reach out to campus resources (Counseling Center, Student Health, Title IX, etc.) by phone or access information from the UNE website
- Create a personalized safety timer to alert friends, family, or Safety and Security in the event of an issue
