Dalton State College has contracted with
ConnectED for their emergency contact service.
If you (and your family) would like to be
alerted in the event of an emergency, just
provide us with up to 6 phone numbers. Should an
emergency arise, ConnectED will automatically
dial and send out thousands of emergency alerts
within just a few minutes.
The cost to participate is free and all
currently enrolled students, faculty, and staff
are eligible. Participation is optional. If you
do not wish to be alerted – do nothing.
If you’d like to participate, just follow these
step-by-step instructions to set up your
emergency contact information:
