Alerts
Alerts are used to communicate important, time-sensitive information on the UND website.
Alert Snippet
The Alert Snippet is available to communicate information on individual web pages. The UND website uses universally accepted alert style colors.
Don’t overdo it. Too many notifications will either overwhelm or annoy the user and are likely to be ignored.
General alerts are gray. Use these alerts for general messaging. This is the most commonly used alert.
Informational alerts are blue.
Warning alerts are yellow. Use for advisory messages that are not urgent.
Error or emergency alerts are red. Use only for messages that demand immediate attention.
Success alerts are green. Used most commonly after a form has been completed.
Global Alerts
Marketing & Communications uses global alerts to communicate messages across all websites in Omni. To meet accessibility and template guidelines, global alert content must be short in length and include only one link. Global alerts are only used with Presidential approval.
Campus Message
This is a customizable message/alert with many possible uses. It has been used to communicate the current campus safety level in respect to COVID-19, with a link to the COVID-19 blog for details.
Campus (Emergency) Alert
The orange campus alert appears above the Campus Message if a weather closure or safety information needs to be communicated to the entire campus community immediately.
