In the event of an emergency at Catholic University, quickly reaching our community with important information and updates is one of our top priorities. That's why we have CUAlert, an emergency notification system powered by Rave Mobile Safety.

All Catholic University students, staff, and associates are automatically enrolled in CUAlert. If you would like to manage your communication preferences, you can do so either on the Rave Mobile Security website or in the Rave Guardian mobile app.
 

Rave Mobile Security Website

To manage your settings online, visit the Rave CUA Login page and log in with your CUA username and password. From there, you can update your:

  • Mobile phone numbers, which will receive text alerts and optional voice calls
  • Voice-only numbers, for phones that can't receive text messages
  • Email addresses, to receive alert messaging as emails


 

Rave Guardian Mobile App

The Rave Guardian app on iPhone and Android allows you to manage your CUAlert communication preferences, contact DPS, share messages with guardians, and more. Learn more about the Rave Guardian app on its dedicated section of our website:

When you're ready, download the app to get started.

Note

Rave Guardian is not a substitute for calling the Department of Public Safety (202-319-5111) when on Catholic University's campus or the police (911) when off campus. Rave Guardian should not be your first choice for making an emergency assistance call.

As with any cell phone usage, certain factors (such as signal strength, type and quality of your phone carrier, and dead spots) can affect the GPS locator accuracy.
