Just as the Emergency Broadcast System periodically runs tests on radio
and television stations, Penn State plans to test the PSUTXT
text-messaging system to help ensure its functionality in a true
emergency. At 1 p.m. on Feb. 23, PSUTXT administrators from each campus
will log into the system and send a message that will be marked clearly
as a test.
"Testing the system like this does a number of things," explained
Annemarie Mountz, assistant director of Public Information.

The Office of the University Registrar is pleased to offer additional eLion functionality for parents. With the consent of their student, parents may now view their student's course schedule and grades via the eLion Parent/Other menu:
The Office of the University Registrar at Penn State has announced the implementation of a course watch list in eLion. This application will provide students with the opportunity to be notified when a seat opens in a full section of a course. Students will indicate the course sections they wish to watch and may be notified of an open seat via a Penn State e-mail account and/or a text message to a mobile phone.
There's a quick and simple way to inform everyone on campus of an emergency.
Penn State Schuylkill encourages students, faculty and staff to enroll
in PSUTXT, an easy and accessible system that lets them know via cell
phone when classes are canceled due to weather conditions or if the
campus has an emergency situation. Sign up now for PSUTXT and, when
necessary, Penn State Schuylkill will send a text message alert directly
to your cell phone and/or e-mail account.
