Penguin Alert is the emergency notification system for Youngstown State University. It is used by YSU as a way to instantly reach mobile devices when an urgent situation needs to be communicated. In the event of an emergency, a message will be sent to the mobile number and/or email registered with the system. This service is provided by YSU at no cost; however, message and data rates may apply. YSU emails and cell phone numbers that are on file with the University are automatically loaded into the system.
