RAVE text messaging system
In situations involving life and safety, text messages will be sent to registered phones. To add your cell phone to the system, use your EID to login to ramweb.colostate.edu and select Change My Emergency Notification Cell Phone. In order to ensure quick message delivery, this system is available only to students, employees and certain vendors on CSU’s campus. RAVE does not track your physical location. Students and staff who are out of the area on break will still receive a message unless they remove their number from the system.
