Parents, community members and others who do not have an account with the university can sign up for alerts in two ways.

If you have any issues with either of these services, contact the Division of IT Help Desk at 573-882-5000 and someone will assist you.

You can stop receiving alerts via text message by texting STOP GetMUAlerts to that same number.
