Emergency Alerts
RAVE Alert is UT Southern’s text message-based emergency notification system. It allows recipients to quickly receive emergency communications and other important information via text message. Notifications may be about inclement weather alerts or emergency incidents on campus. All faculty, staff, and students who provided the University with a cellular telephone number will be automatically enrolled in the RAVE Alert system.
Please ensure that your cellular telephone number is updated in your CAMS account to ensure the delivery of emergency alerts. If you need to troubleshoot, please reach out to Clara Adcock.
Emergency Plan
The University of Tennessee Southern Emergency Plan aims to establish policies and procedures for campus emergencies. The policies and procedures outlined in this plan are essential for protecting the lives and property of UT Southern. While this plan does not cover every conceivable emergency that could occur, it does provide basic guidelines to be followed for most campus emergencies. Without question, the most important thing to remember when addressing any emergency or crisis on campus is that your safety is paramount. The safety of each staff member, faculty member, and student is the top priority in all emergencies.

Clery Act
In 1990 the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act was created to honor the memory of Jeanne Clery, who lost her life due to the crime of another student. Jeanne’s parents believed if she had known about crime in the area, she could have made more informed decisions for her safety which could have spared her life.
In 1998 the law was later renamed the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (20 USC § 1092(f)), also referred to as the Clery Act, to honor Jeanne’s memory. However, the mission remains the same:
To provide timely information to the community about crime occurring in the area so they may make informed decisions regarding their safety and the safety of others.
The Clery Act requires higher education institutions that receive federal funds to comply with over 115 policies and procedures related to safety and security. The Department of Education regulates clery compliance, and strict fines and penalties are enforced on those institutions that fail to comply with its mandates. The University of Tennessee works diligently to comply with the Clery Act and to keep its community safe and informed.
This website serves as a platform of information and resources to help the campus community understand the Clery Act, provide easily accessible campus crime information and statistics, and support other initiatives related to compliance.
For additional information on the university’s compliance with the Clery Act or to address any questions or concerns, you may contact the Clery Coordinator.
