Seminole State College will test its emergency communication tools on Tuesday, March 19, and Wednesday, March 20, to provide critical information to students, staff and faculty members, family members and the public.

Emergency Alert Phone System

Seminole State will test its Emergency Alert Phone System at 10:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 19, and Wednesday, March 20.

The timing of these tests is designed to familiarize day and evening students, faculty and staff with the system.
