To join non-emergency groups
We currently have three optional groups you may join:

- New Paltz Student Activities: Occassional text messages will be sent to you promoting select events on campus
- Off-Campus/Commuter Students: The Office of Student Activities and Union Services will use this group to send updates for off-campus students for things such as: Living Off-Campus 101 Workshops, Commuter Appreciation Days, Off-Campus Student Socials, Off-Campus Student Union events and promotion, Upcoming Registration Workshop for new Transfer Students, Planning on Living Off-Campus Workshops, and Commuter Locker Rentals (beginning fall 2010 when the Construction is complete).
To join, after you login to http://my.newpaltz.edu and NP Alert, you'll see the Groups dashboard and the above groups listed under "Official Groups." Select the one you want to join, then choose "join" on the following page.
