How do I opt in and opt out of Wayne State Alerts text messaging?

- Emergency messages are automatically sent to students, faculty, staff, affiliates and/or guests, and opt-in external community members.
- Non-emergency messages are an opt-in service for internal users with an AccessID and are sent based on user preferences.
