InfoStations FAQ
What is the main purpose of the InfoStations?
In the event of an emergency, WVU Police Department sends a text message from the e2Campus system which in turn triggers an alert page on all InfoStations across campus. This alert message will take precedence over all pages and will include an audible alert. It is required that all InfoStations have the volume turned up in order for this alert to be heard.
How do I get my content on the InfoStations?
- Submit your event to cal.wvu.edu.

What are the graphics requirements to be played on the InfoStations?
- Must represent a WVU college, facility, student organization or service.
- All posters must be professional and follow the WVU Brand guidelines.
- The InfoStations are classified as “multimedia” under Section 504 and the definition of Information and Communication Technology, Policy Scope. All posters must meet WVU Accessibility guidelines. Use the Contrast Checker to help see if your background and foreground colors have enough contrast. Another option is to look at your final image in grayscale to see if there is enough contrast.
