With all the hustle and bustle of late registration, bookstore lines and overall back-to-school preparation KC students go through before even stepping foot in their classrooms, it is important not to overlook one last step in having a safe semester: Ranger Alert.

Whether a class is canceled or severe weather rolls in, Ranger Alert is a campus-wide emergency alert sent out via text message to keep students aware and safe in case emergencies arise.

To register a cellphone, go to Campus Connect at kilgore.edu, click on the Ranger Alert button and enter the cellphone number.

Ranger Alert will confirm the registration with a text message to the student and to the wireless cellphone carrier.
