At 4:30 p.m. on Monday, November 10, the College will conduct a test of the ConnectED emergency notification system.  This system is designed to allow the College to quickly notify members of our community of the existence of an emergency.  Each student, faculty member and staff member is allowed to designate multiple email addresses, telephone numbers and text message addresses to receive emergency notifications.  During the test, a message will be directed to each designated telephone number, email address and text message address.

Recently several members of the campus community have fallen victim to a scam related to Wooster’s email services. Wooster’s online access for email is referred to as Scotmail, not webnews or webmail, and we are not currently updating our database of information. These messages are not legitimate. The spam message that many people have received comes from a fraudulent sender, not the Wooster IT department. It requests your username and password, country, state, and other personal information. Do not send your information in response to that email. If you have submitted your information by mistake, please change your password immediately at the following website: https://secureweb.wooster.edu/password
