Recipients should not respond to the test message. Such tests will be conducted annually. In an emergency, administrators will now be able to send text messages quickly to students, as well as faculty and staff who have provided emergency contact information. Because cell phone numbers provided will be used only in the event of an emergency, they will be kept private and are exempt from Florida’s public records laws. Anyone who has registered his or her emergency contact information but does not receive the test message should go to http://www.it.ufl.edu/sms-test/
