Requests for Campus Notices and Building Notices are submitted to the Office of Strategic Communications via email to efiles@gmu.edu. For example, Facilities may submit a request about building maintenance, or Information Technology Services may submit a request related to network interruptions. These are just a couple examples of the types of Campus and Building Notices that may be sent to faculty/staff.
Note: Campus/Building Notices and Mason Alerts are different. Sign-up at ready.gmu.edu to receive Mason Alert messages regarding campus-wide or university-wide announcements impacting operating hours or emergencies.
- Campus Notices and Building Notices are only sent to faculty and staff with a Mason email address.
- There are three categories of alert announcements:
- Building-Specific – Data from People Finder is used to populate the email recipients.
- Campus-Specific – Faculty and staff on the Mason Square (formerly Arlington Campus) or the Science and Technology Campuses.
- Subscribe to the Mason Square (formerly Arlington Campus) listserv
- Subscribe to the Science and Technology Campus listserv
- University-wide – A listserv including all students, faculty, staff, contractors, and/or affiliates may be used to distribute messages affecting the entire university community.
- Campus/Building Notices may include building maintenance, unexpected road closures or construction, significant events, and significant computer network disruptions affecting accessibility.
- Messages including short notice outages (power, water, heating, etc.) will be sent to email addresses of affected building occupants.
