Although this information has been collected as part of the admissions process,
there is an agreed upon need to have students enter, review, and update this
information on a regular basis within the student self-service information system.
For the spring 2008 term, an Emergency Contact Verification hold will be applied to
all students who have been admitted to an academic program for the term. The
hold will prevent students from all registration activities, until they have updated or
verified their emergency contact information in the student self-service system.


Note: Students who register without being admitted are not required to provide any
emergency contact information at the time of registration.
