Official University Communication

TCU will make every attempt to communicate with all members of the academic community in a timely and effective manner. To that end, the University will primarily use a student’s TCU-provided email address (tcu.edu) to transmit official information.   The University might also communicate via U.S. mail, campus mail, telephone calls and text messages.  Most offices and departments will exclusively use your tcu.edu e-mail to communicate important information; therefore, it is imperative that TCU community members access their tcu.edu accounts regularly.

TCU is committed to providing a safe environment for its faculty, staff, and students. In the event of an emergency, the University will communicate with students via the following channels:

• TCU ALERT, a mass communication system that includes phone, text, and email communication, as well as indoor/outdoor loudspeakers and emergency lighting on campus, to notify the Horned Frog community of an emergency or weather-related closure/delay.
• Websites and Social Media sites:
  • The TCU home page at www.tcu.edu
  • Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/TCUTexasChristianUniversity
  • Twitter page: www.twitter.com/TCU
  • Instagram: www.instagram.com/texaschristianuniversity
• Local media as appropriate

It is also imperative that students keep their addresses and telephone numbers current, including cell phone numbers and at least one personal emergency contact. This information is used to contact you or your designed emergency contact in the event of an emergency. Students may update their information via my.tcu.edu. Click on the Student tab; then on Profile; and finally, on Personal Details, Contact Details, or Emergency Contacts, as appropriate, under the Profile section.
