Cayuga is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for students, employees and visitors. We recognize that an effective campus safety policy and procedures for reporting problems can help assure security for persons and property.

Sign up for Emergency Alerts
Cayuga is among the SUNY campuses that use Rave Alert System as their notification system to notify college students, faculty and staff of possible emergencies.
Our Rave Alert notices are intended only for situations involving imminent danger to health or human safety. These may include severe weather, snow closings, utility failure, major road closings, fire or hazardous-material spill in the area, and bomb or weapon threats.
Every Cayuga student and employee has a self-service account in the college's Banner information system. You can use your self-service Banner account to sign up for our Rave Alert service. Then, if Cayuga Community College generates a Rave Alert notice, it will be sent to you via the phone (text) and/or e-mail contact information you provide.
