Utah Valley University (UVU) uses text messaging to communicate with students and employees for University-related purposes. These Terms of Participation apply to the text messaging preferences and programs shown on the UVU’s Text Messaging Preferences page. Other University text messaging programs may provide separate notices or instructions.
UVU may use the mobile number you provide to send emergency and safety communications, including emergency alerts, timely warnings, and emergency alert system test messages. These communications are not optional through the Text Messaging Preferences page.
UVU also offers optional text messaging programs, which may include:
Message frequency varies by program, user activity, and University need. Message and data rates may apply. Your mobile carrier may charge you for sending or receiving text messages depending on your mobile plan.
For questions about this system, contact the Service Desk at (801) 863-8888, or their website.
For Enrollment Services program messages, reply HELP for help.
You may opt out of optional text messaging programs by updating your selections on the Text Messaging Preferences page or by replying STOP to a text message sent through the applicable optional program.
Emergency and safety communications are not optional through the Text Messaging Preferences page. To stop receiving emergency and safety communications by text message, you must delete your mobile number from the Text Messaging Preferences page. You may still receive emergency and safety communications through other University communication methods.
UVU will make reasonable efforts to send timely and accurate text messages, but text message delivery is not guaranteed. Messages may be delayed, blocked, or undelivered due to carrier, network, device, system, or other factors outside the University’s control. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the mobile number you provide.
Carriers are not liable under these Terms of Participation for delayed or undelivered non-emergency notifications or timely warnings messages.
Text messages from this system are not monitored for emergency reporting. To report an emergency, call 911.
Optional text messages are provided for convenience and do not replace official University records, published deadlines, requirements, or notices.
UVU’s collection and use of personal data through the Text Messaging Preferences page is described in the Privacy Notice for Text Messaging Preferences page.
