Once you are logged in, you will be presented with several options. You can choose from the following:

  • Receive notices three days in advance of materials being due. There are two available formats:
    • Separate notices for each individual item. This format includes the titles of each item that is coming due.
    • A single digest notice indicating only the number of items due in three days. This format does not include the titles of the items.
  • To not be notified at all via this service. (This is the option to select if you want to opt out of the service.)

Once you have made your selections, click on the Go! button to activate the service.

That’s it! Now, when you have material due dates or class dates approaching, you will receive a reminder.

Please note that Alerts are not duplicated. Only one message per due date or class will be sent. For example, if you checked out a book you will not continue to receive due date notices for that book once the first message has been sent.
