Campus Support
Emmanuel College IDs are granted door and printer access on campus and are also linked to an account to which money can be uploaded and used in the Dining Hall, Muddy Cafe, and at vending machines located in the Administration Building and the Jean Yawkey Student Center.
In the event of an emergency, every effort will be made to communicate with the extended Emmanuel College community in an accurate and timely fashion.

All students, faculty, staff and administrators are required to register for this free service, which informs registered users of campus closures and campus emergencies via mass e-mail, voice-mail and/or text message.
While all Emmanuel community members' college e-mail addresses are automatically registered with the system, Campus Safety encourages everyone to register alternative e-mail addresses and phone numbers, including those of family members. Faculty and staff can also register for RAVE.
Communications in Emergency and Weather
If an emergency or inclement weather should affect the day-to-day operations of the College, announcements will be posted to the Emmanuel homepage and all staff, faculty and students will receive notification via the RAVE Emergency Notification System, which provides announcements when necessary via e-mail, voice-mail and text message.
Safety Alerts
