The University is a large community. Students, academics and admin-istrative staff meet on site and digitally. The following website provides tips and information and the most important contact points for working and studying successfully together.
Emergency text message for students
The emergency text message service notifies you directly via text message in case of a sudden emergency (such as a major fire) at a location of the University of Vienna. It thus helps ensure safe university operations.
How does it work?
Students can register for the emergency text message service on a voluntary basis with their private phone number on u:space. You can deregister from the service at any time.
Further information such as about data protection is available on u:space and in the Data Protection Declaration of the University of Vienna.
