Campaign to update contact information begins

The university began a campaign Wednesday to update the addresses of all university students.

The campaign was announced by Dean of Students Stephanie Ives in an email Tuesday evening. She said the process should be short and will help the university in planning for the future.

“The entire process should take fewer than two minutes and keeping your contact information current with the University will assist us in planning for the future,” Ives said in the email.

The university is collecting the information through two questions that appear in a “pop-up window” after signing into TUportal. The first question confirms the student’s permanent address and is followed by a question pertaining to the student’s living address during the academic year.

The Temple News reported Tuesday that the process would begin today as part of two recommendations that have been approved from the Community and Student Off Campus Issues and Concerns Task Force’s report.
