GC Alert

GC Alert 

Gaston College uses an alert service that notifies the campus community if an emergency situation occurs or is imminent. The service provides important information to your gaston.edu email account and, if you entered your mobile phone information, as a text message to your mobile phone. Because text to a mobile phone is limited in size, the email will often contain additional information. 

You may sign up for GC Alert if you are:

• Full-time temporary or regular faculty
• Part-time curriculum instructors
• Full or part-time regular staff
• Part-time temporary staff
• A curriculum student (this does not include students taking continuing education classes)
