Colorado State University may issue alerts, advisories and/or warnings to share critical information with the university community. Depending on the severity of the situation, CSU may issue an emergency notification or timely warning. The university issues emergency notifications to students and employees when certain threatening events take place. CSU is responsible for issuing a timely warning if a Clery Act crime has been reported on Clery geography and CSU determines there is a serious or continuing threat to the university community.

CSU uses the Everbridge notification system that is supported by the Larimer Emergency Telephone Authority and activated for CSU-related emergencies by CSU personnel. This system issues email notifications to all CSU students and employees who maintain an @colostate.edu email address. Safety alerts can also be received by text.

Larimer Emergency Telephone Authority emergency alerts

Larimer Emergency Telephone Authority (LETA) allows you to receive alerts about off-campus emergencies and other important community news via your home, cell, or business phone, email, text messages, hearing impaired receiving devices, and more. CSU will begin using the LETA system for emergency alerts in August 2023.

Alerts may be issued to the entire university community through the Everbridge notification system, which is supported by the LETA but activated for CSU-related emergencies by CSU personnel. This system issues email notifications to all CSU affiliates who maintain an @colostate.edu email address. Cell phone notifications are made to affiliates who have opted in. You can sign up for LETA alerts at this page: More information / sign up
