Update Your Emergency Contact Information

We wish you the best as you begin your first week of the fall semester. I am Tim Stringer, Director of Public Safety and Chief of the IUP Police Department.  There are two important pieces of information that we require all students to submit to us.  Those functions are listed below.

1. Emergency Contact Information:
   IUP communicates important updates, including school closures and emergency notifications, through the Everbridge emergency notification system, available in the MyIUP portal. To ensure your safety and the safety of our community, it is critical that we have your most accurate and up-to-date contact information. Step-by-step instructions for verifying and updating your information can be found on the emergency notification website under the headings “Register for Notifications: Students and Employees” and “Emergency Contact Information.”

2. Missing Student Information:
   In accordance with the Clery Act, IUP is required to collect a confidential contact to be notified if a student is determined to be missing. This contact may be different from your emergency contact listed in Everbridge. The instructions to update your missing student information contact via the StarRez system (accessible via the MyIUP portal) can be found below.

   1. Log in to MyIUP and click on the Housing and Dining Portal (StarRez) button on the Housing and Dining Card. 

      

   2. Click on the “Missing Person Contact Information” link on the home page. 

   3. Fill out the information and click Save & Continue 

Please follow the instructions listed above to update your Emergency Contact Information via Everbridge and the instructions to update your Missing Student Information via StarRez. If you have any questions, you should email iup-hawks@iup.edu.
