Updating Your Contact Information in Workday
Here are some tips to help you update correctly:

|---|---|
| Permanent Address | This should be the U.S. residential address where you physically reside (in other words, this is where you sleep at night)! |
| Foreign Address |
This should be a stable address outside the U.S. (typically a family or close friend's address). Usage Type should be marked Foreign Address. |
| Mobile Phone | This should be your U.S. based mobile phone. |
| Primary/Home Phone | This should be a non-U.S. ("foreign") phone number. If you do not maintain an international phone number, this can be the phone number of a family member or friend. |
| Institutional Email | This will be automatically populated with your scu.edu email address. This is how the ISS team will reach you while you're enrolled in classes at ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½. |
| Primary/Home Email | This should be an email address (preferably not an scu.edu account) that you regularly check. This is how the ISS team will reach you after you graduate. |
| Work Email | Your scu.edu email may automatically populate as the "Work Email" type. |

US immigration regulations are complex and change frequently. The University strives to maintain a website that is both current and helpful, however, ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ is not responsible for students maintaining lawful immigration status; this is the responsibility of the student.
