ANNOUNCEMENTS


No Parking on 15th Avenue as Metro Paves Road
Beginning Thurs., Aug. 21, Metro Public Works will be milling and re-paving 15th Avenue from Wedgewood to Ashwood Avenues. The work is scheduled to last two to three weeks. No "on-street" parking will be allowed on 15th Avenue during this time. Metro will be ticketing and towing any vehicles parked in that location. We ask that the Belmont community respect the residential permit parking on Acklen Avenue and utilize appropriate "on-campus" parking including the satellite lots located on 12th Avenue.

Cardboard Recycling on Move In Day
Each year tons of cardboard is brought onto campus as students move into dorms. Join faculty, staff and students from ONE, Belmont's Environment Club, to move this cardboard to recycling bins during the move-in weekend. To participate, meet Allison Berwald at the recycling truck in the gravel lot behind Wright/Maddox/Kennedy from 8 a.m.-noon on Sat., Aug. 23 and 1-3 p.m. on Sun., Aug. 24. For questions or more information, contact Dr. Darlene Panvini at (615) 476-6650 or panvinid@mail.belmont.edu.

Belmont Text Alerts: Update on Registration, Carrier Changes
Nearly 3,000 Belmont students, faculty and staff are currently signed up for Belmont Text Alerts, a system used to enhance and expand university communication in the event of an on-campus emergency or unscheduled university closing due to, for instance, severe weather. There is no cost to register, but standard text messaging rates do apply. Belmont University only uses text alerts for emergencies, not promotional purposes.

Please note: If you changed the service provider on your cell phone since you signed up for Belmont Text Alerts, you will need to sign up again, even if your phone number did not change. The Belmont Text Alert system requires both accurate cell phone numbers and cell service provider information to work properly.

Registering for Belmont Text Alerts is quick and easy. Simply text the word Belmont (not case-sensitive) to the number 27538 OR sign into your BIC account and click the "Sign Up Now" link near the top of the page.
