Student Center - Update Your Emergency Contact Information

A step-by-step guide to updating your emergency contact information.

Important Note for Incoming Students

As an incoming student, you may not yet have access to all of the functions within the Student Center. For an overview of what you'll find in the Student Center and when you'll receive full access, visit the Office of the Registrar's Student Center Navigation webpage.

If you have questions about what you need to do before you arrive on campus, contact the Office of Admissions and Recruitment. You can also talk to your advisor during Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration (SOAR).
