WSU Alert System Test – January 21, 2026
A test of the WSU Alert system was conducted at 11:00AM on January 21, 2026. This was only a test, no action is required.
During the test, registered users received notifications via voice call, text message, and/or e-mail, depending on the information they provided at time of enrollment.
Students and employees can register for notifications, or change their notification settings, by following the steps in the “How do I sign up for Notifications?” section below.
Weather conditions are being monitored continuously, along with campus and local travel conditions. Any announcements regarding delays or closures will be communicated through multiple channels. If no announcement is made, campus is operating normally. Road conditions will vary throughout our region. Students and employees who are not comfortable traveling in conditions where they are should stay home. Contact your supervisor or instructor to notify them if you will not come to campus.
Students and employees must determine for themselves, based on their location and local conditions, whether they will come to campus on any given day. Anyone who does not feel safe traveling is advised to stay home. Students should communicate with their instructors if they choose not to come to class. Likewise, instructors must communicate with their students as early as possible if they choose to cancel class. Employees may talk to their supervisors about working remotely, or may take leave. Refer to HRS policies regarding inclement weather at .
