Introduction
Please follow the process below to remove your information from the TechAlert system.
Instructions
TTU and TTUS users
Students, faculty, and staff of TTU or TTUS may opt out of all emergency notifications except for email notifications by submitting all empty values in the phone number fields in the TechAlert website.
IMPORTANT: Texas Tech University strongly recommends that you provide at least one telephone number. Any contact info that you provide will only be used for emergency notifications.
Family and loved ones
Normally, contact information for loved ones is added to TechAlert when a student, faculty, or staff member adds you as a dependent under their own account. Please ask the person who added you to delete you from their dependents list.
If a Texas Tech user is not able to remove you as their dependent, you can request to have your information removed from TechAlert by contacting IT Help Central with the following details:
- Your legal first name
- Your legal last name
- The contact information to which TechAlert messages are being sent (for example, 806-555-1234 or techfan@outlook.com).
A task will be assigned to system administrators for review.
Other users
If you have an account in the TechAlert system, you may update your own information. (Just submit all empty values in the phone number fields if you wish to stop receiving alerts.)
If you do not have an account in TechAlert, you can request to have your information removed from TechAlert by contacting IT Help Central with the following details:
- Your legal first name

Sporting event, concert, orientation, campus tour, etc.
If you opted in for receiving SMS text messages temporarily while on campus, your information will be automatically removed after 48 hours. However, you may proactively unsubscribe if you prefer.

NOTE: If there are any alerts within the days surrounding your request, you may continue to receive them while your entry is being deleted from our systems. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause, and we appreciate your patience.
