Florida Atlantic University will test all components of the FAU Alert System on Tuesday, October 5.

At approximately 10:00 a.m., the outdoor warning sirens on the Boca Raton, Jupiter and Harbor Branch campuses will be activated. During this test, a loud siren sound and a spoken message will be heard across the campuses as well as in nearby neighborhoods and business areas. FAU apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause and thanks its campus neighbors in advance for understanding the importance of this testing process to both the University and the community at large.

Additionally, FAU’s University-wide email, text message alert, telephone alert, web alert, emergency hotlines, digital signage, desktop alerts and social media will be tested during the same time.

Users of the FAU Owl Ready App (www.fau.edu/emergency/owlready.php) will also receive alerts.

Tests of the FAU Alert System will occur at least two times a year.

The FAU Alert System is designed to play a key role in keeping FAU’s students, faculty, staff and campus visitors safe during emergency situations. The University thanks everyone affected by these tests for showing patience and cooperation as they are carried out.

For more information on FAU Alert, please visit the Department of Emergency Management’s website at www.fau.edu/emergency.

Be Prepared, Be Safe, Be Owl Ready!

To the University Community:

Summer 3 Move-In will take place Thursday, June 24 through Saturday, June 26, from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. First Time in College (FTIC) students and families are moving into Heritage Park Towers and returning students to Innovation Village Apartments South.

As a requirement for move-in, students will be tested for COVID-19.  The testing location is in Garage II from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Expect increased traffic in the areas surrounding the residential facilities and testing area during those times.

To accommodate for setup and breakdown, Garage II will close Friday, June 18, at 5 p.m. All cars need to park at other locations until the garage reopens on Tuesday, June 29.

To the FAU community,

Baptist Health will host a community vaccination site in the Live Oak Pavilion of the Student Union on FAU’s Boca Raton campus on Thursday, May 13, and Thursday, May 20, from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Vaccinations will be available only for those 16 years of age or older.

Appointments are not required. The first vaccine dose will be administered and recipients will be advised of return dates for the second dose.

All members of the university community are strongly encouraged to Protect Your Owl Family and get vaccinated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently amended COVID-19 guidance for the general population. The new guidance both encourages vaccination and offers new parameters for those who have already been vaccinated.
