Your campuses public address system will be activated during the test. You will hear a bell tone followed by a recorded message alerting everyone on campus that the test has begun. Campus TV screens will also display a message indicating that the test has begun.
Yes. Nothing is more important than your safety and well-being. While the Systems Tests are a minor inconvenience, they are needed to make sure that Mohawk’s Emergency Notification Systems are working properly.
The 10-minute tests are needed to make sure Mohawk’s Emergency Notification Systems are functioning properly. Students and staff are not required to take any action during the tests. However, if you notice any problems with the system or have concerns about how the system works you are encouraged to contact Mohawk College Security at ext. 2003 (Fennell) or ext. 5035 (Stoney Creek).
Please note that faculty and staff are asked to contact Security in the event desktop messaging does not activate on classroom computers and work stations.
