Enrolling In the University's TechAlert System - Texas Tech University Lubbock campus, TTU At El Paso, and TTU School of Veterinary Medicine

All faculty, staff, and students at Texas Tech University Lubbock campus, TTU at El Paso and TTU School of Veterinary Medicine are automatically enrolled with their eRaider email address and the primary phone number listed in their personnel or registration records.  All members of the Texas Tech community should keep their information updated by going to the TechAlert webpage at http://www.techalert.ttu.edu. The information is secure and will never be used by Texas Tech University for any reason other than emergency alert notifications.

Students at the regional campuses should ensure that campus officials always have their updated contact information.
