MSIII and MSIV students should download an application from TigerText to their mobile device(s) and use it to send/receive encrypted and HIPAA compliant text messages, etc. Texting offered by wireless service providers and social media sites does not have the necessary security controls and should not be used for communication of sensitive information. UTHealth is making this application free-of-charge to all MSIII, MSIV and Residents.

To start using TigerText, follow these steps:

  • Open the TigerConnect Terms of Use Acknowledgement page.
  • Follow instructions to complete the following:
    • Accept TigerText terms of use.
    • Receive a temporary password.
    • Install AirWatch.
