LUPD uses an emergency alert system to notify the LU community of emergency situations, inclement weather closures and other important public safety information. Alerts are sent to the contact information saved in your Self-Service Banner account. Learn how to update your Self-Service Banner (PDF). It is imperative that every student, faculty and staff member receives these emergency notifications. So, it's very important that you keep this information up-to-date.
