*Represents the elapsed time between when the alert was published and the last text message was delivered to the cell phone carriers (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, etc.). The majority of text messages reached cell phone carriers in less time. The time it takes a person to actually receive the text message is dependent upon how quickly individual cell phone carriers deliver the message to their customers.

**Code Maroon emails will automatically be sent to all Texas A&M Gmail accounts ending with @email.tamu.edu and Texas A&M Exchange email addresses. By limiting email alerts to official Texas A&M Email addresses, the messages can be sent more quickly.

***Represents the university's delivery time to Twitter. Total delivery time is dependent upon how quickly Twitter delivers the message to their followers. Note: Twitter's delivery of messages to followers is not controlled by the university.
