  1. Open the active alert screen (it appears as soon as you send an alert).
  2. Tap Cancel alert.

The alert is marked Cancelled by student, campus security is told, and location tracking stops.

Good to know

  • You can cancel while the alert is waiting or has been acknowledged. Once a responder has resolved it, it is closed and cannot be cancelled.
  • Cancel quickly. A responder may already be on the way, so the sooner they know, the better.
  • Your cancelled alerts still appear in your Activity history.
  • Repeated false alarms can lead to account action. See the Acceptable Use Policy.
