Penguin Alert is the emergency notification system for Youngstown State University. It is used to instantly reach mobile devices when an urgent situation needs to be communicated. In the event of an emergency, a message is sent to the mobile number and or email registered with the system. YSU provides this service at no cost; however, message and data rates may apply.
To register with Penguin Alert, you must have an official YSU email account. If you have a YSU email account, you can register for Penguin Alert by signing in here(link is external).
