How to Update Emergency Alerts in CAMS

This article demonstrates how to add/update or verify your Campus Alert information and your

Emergency Contacts in CAMS.

 

  • Campus Alert is the information on file to contact you, the individual, in the event of an emergency on campus (e.g., weather emergencies, active shooter, lockdown, etc.).

  • Emergency Contacts is the contact information for your next of kin in the event something should happen to you, and we need to get in touch with them on your behalf (e.g., injury, illness, accident, etc.)

 

Students are required to update this information before the start of each Fall and Spring semester for their own safety.

Step 1. Go to the top left of your screen and click the menu with your First and Last Name. Verify that the term is the current term you will be attending. You can adjust this with the “(Change)” button.

Step 2. Click on the “Administrative Services” dropdown.

Step 3. Select the “Campus Alerts & Emergency Contacts” option

 


 

Step 4. The top of your screen should read “Campus Alerts Contact Information”.

 


 

Step 5. The text boxes are preloaded with the information from your most recently completed form. Update the first box with your current personal email address, if necessary.

Step 6. Update the second box with your current personal phone number, if necessary.

Step 7. Update the third box with an alternative phone number, if necessary. Proceed to the next section, “Emergency Contact Information”.

 


 

Step 8. The top three textboxes of this section are preloaded with information of your primary emergency contact from your last registration. This contact can be your parent, legal guardian, or next of kin. Update this, if necessary.

Step 9. The bottom three textboxes of this section are preloaded with information of your secondary emergency contact from your last registration. This contact can be your parent, legal guardian, or next of kin. Update this, if necessary. Proceed to the next section, “Current Residence Address”.

 


 

Step 10. The address details from your most recently completed form are preloaded into these text boxes. If you are currently living elsewhere or moving soon, you must update this information now or when you finalize your move. If you are remaining in the same saved address for this coming semester, then no update is needed. Proceed to the next section, “Notes/Medical Conditions”.

 


 

Step 11. Notes of anything Florida Polytechnic should know about that could impact your student experience are already preloaded from your most recently completed form. These may include medical conditions or other circumstances that may require accommodations. Whether any changes have occurred or not, update the notes accordingly. If you do not wish to add notes, you may leave it blank.

Step 12. Click the checkbox that reads “Please certify the above is true and correct” and then select the “Add” button.
