Emergency Notification System

Cochise College is now offering emergency notifications and updates to current employees and students via the E2Campus emergency notification system.

Safety alerts, campus/center closures, delays, dismissals, and updates can be sent to a mobile phone, wireless PDA, pagers or email addresses. You can register more than one device, if you so desire.

Signing up or making changes to your account is simple. However, you will need to log onto the MyCochise portal before being able to access the sign up or account modification forms. The college offers this service free of charge, but you may be responsible for any messaging charges from your cell phone company or service provider.

If you have questions, you can submit a technology service request, call (520) 417-4119 or visit the E2Campus Frequently Asked Questions website.

Campus Closures

In the event of inclement weather or other emergency, it may be necessary for the college president (or designee) to close any or all campuses/centers, delay the start of classes and college operations at all or specific sites, or dismiss classes and college operations early at all or specific sites. Upon determination that campus closure is in the best interests of students, staff and faculty, the following protocols will be followed:

1. The college president (or designee) will notify the college public information officer and senior administration of the closure decision.
