Texas Southmost College has partnered with Rave Mobile Safety to provide an emergency alert system that delivers messages to your TSC e-mail address and cell phone.
Student’s, faculty’s, and staff’s information is automatically updated in the Rave Emergency Notification System each semester. Each semester, participants will receive a welcome message with instructions for reviewing and managing contact information within Rave.
Rave Emergency Notifications are issued as part of TSC’s crisis management program. Notifications will be for major emergencies and emergency instructions that will alert students, faculty, and staff on what to do and where to proceed in the event of an emergency. This will allow students, faculty, and staff to stay safe and avoid harm as a situation happens. The system will not be used for minor situations such as weather advisories, campus event notifications, or cancellations of any kind.
If you want to receive text notifications reliably, we strongly recommend logging in to your Rave account to enter or verify your cell phone number and provider. Otherwise, you may only be notified of emergencies via e-mail.
We encourage you to log in on the Rave website to confirm your contact information and choose your notification preferences.

What is my username?
Your username is your TSC username, and the password is your TSC password. For example, if your TSC email account is [email protected], your TSC username is john.doe
I already have contact information in the system. Where did this data come from?
Texas Southmost College pre-populates the Rave Campus Alert system with student, staff, and faculty e-mail addresses and cell phone numbers provided to the college.
The college made every attempt to capture the maximum number of campus community members in developing the alert process.
What if I did not receive a welcome e-mail?
At the beginning of the semester, a test message will be sent. Please be certain that getrave.com, rave.com, and tsc.edu are excluded from any spam filters or block lists in your e-mail client, spam blocking programs or your e-mail service. If you did not receive a welcome e-mail, you may still log in by requesting a password reminder at getrave.com, using your e-mail address. If your e-mail address is not found, you may sign up directly by registering through the Rave website.
