If you have NOT registered your phone to receive these alerts, please go on MyGFU to your personal information page, and register it underneath the “Fox Alert” tab.

1. Cell phone
2. E-mail
3. Text message

HOWEVER, for either of these methods to work YOU must enter your personal contact information in your MYGFU account.
Here’s how you do it!

– Login to your MYGFU account
– Click on SELF SERVICE
– Click on CAMPUS PERSONAL INFORMATION
– Click on PHONE NUMBERS
– On the PHONE TYPE pick list, choose the phone type you are registering.
