The University also uses the RAVE alert system to inform students, faculty and staff of University closures and re-openings via text messages. The RAVE alert system allows the University to provide instant notification to students, faculty, and staff regarding emergency situations on campus. University closures may be the result of weather or other conditions on campus that interfere with the normal conduct of business or that present a potential threat to members of the University community. Students should follow the instructions sent via the RAVE alert. Information is also posted on the Midwestern University website and sent to MWU community members via University email.
