How to Add Non-WesternU Member (Blackboard Connect)

Provides instructions on how to get a non-university community member (typically someone who works on campus as a long-term contractor, or for a company that works on campus like Security or Outtakes). The university is charged for the total number of individuals in our notification system so we want to restrict this to individuals who truly need to receive the emergency alerts when a notification is sent. An alternate way to allow individuals to get alerts is through LiveSafe.
