New Year - Time to Update Your E2Campus Information

It's time to review your personal contact information on BannerWeb, particularly in connection with the E2Campus Alert System. You are strongly encouraged to provide cell phone and email addresses, in addition to home/office phone numbers, since there may times (such as Monday's power outage) when sending the information via the telephone system is not appropriate to the situation.

To set up and/or update your contact information, register through BannerWeb. After logging into BannerWeb, click on the "Personal Information" tab and then click on the "Emergency Alert Contact Information - E2Campus."

Should you need assistance, the ITS Helpdesk is available to direct you - Ext. 2222.
