RacerAlerts and Emergency Weather Information

As winter approaches, the potential for severe or inclement weather increases. MSU has provided information on the three categories of inclement weather related actions for campus and how those actions are communicated. Weather notifications will be communicated via all-user emails, MSU homepage, WKMS-FM (radio and website), University Facebook account, and the University Twitter account. Once these notifications have been sent, the MSU Police Department will issue a RacerAlert text message to all users who have opted into texting services.

About RacerAlerts: All current students, faculty, and staff who have provided their cell phone contact information through their myGate accounts are already signed up for RacerAlert text messages. To verify or update your primary cell phone number in myGate, follow the myGate Information Change instructions (PDF). Information on how RacerAlerts work, as well as how parents and community partners can sign up is on the RacerAlerts website.

myGate Two-Factor Authentication

Murray State University began offering Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for myGate on August 26, 2019 for all users, which affects any system that uses your myGate credentials, such as Canvas, the Service Catalog, and Banner. On Tuesday, October 22, 2019, myGate 2FA became mandatory, meaning any user not enrolled in myGate 2FA will be unable to access any of these systems until they have completed the enrollment process. Information Systems has provided support documentation to help our users understand and enroll in myGate 2FA. For any questions not answered in our support documentation, contact the MSU Service Desk at msu.servicedesk@murraystate.edu or 270-809-2346, Monday-Friday, 8:00am-4:30pm Central.
