Phone Book Updates for Individuals

Listings in the phone book, both paper and electronic, and in the e-mail Global Address List (GAL) originate from several university data sources, with information provided by individuals and various units.

Any changes will be reflected in the next update of the online phone book and GAL, both of which can take a few weeks, and the printed phone book, which is produced annually. When changes are received by the Telecommunications Office, they are immediately updated with university operators.

STUDENTS

Student data in the phone book originates from the student information system (SIS) at the Registrar's Office. Follow the steps below to update information:

• Mailing address and phone number. Students with a valid student ID and PIN can access and update individual information via TOUR (Tulane Online University Records) between 7 a.m. and midnight.
• E-mail address in the Global Address List. Send corrections to HelpU 24.7 by e-mailing info@tulane.edu or calling 504-862-8888.
  

Students wishing to suppress directory information in the Global Address List and the phone book should visit the Registrar's Office, 110 Gibson Hall, to complete the necessary form. The "Request to prevent disclosure of directory information" form must be submitted in person along with a picture ID, which is copied and filed with the disclosure form in accordance with Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) guidelines.

FACULTY & STAFF

Faculty and staff data in the phone book originates from the university's payroll and personnel files. Annually, faculty and staff are sent a notice from the Workforce Management Organization to update contact information, which is due at the start of each fall semester.

After the fall deadline, follow the steps below to update information:

• Office phone number, office address, home phone number, home address or name. Submit two copies of the Payroll/Personnel Information Form (PPI) to the Workforce Management Organization.
• Department or title. Ask your department to submit a Payroll Action Form (PAF) to the Payroll Department.
• E-mail address in the Global Address List. Send corrections to HelpU 24.7 by e-mailing info@tulane.edu or calling 504-862-8888.
• Emergency Alerts. Update your off-campus information (e.g., home address, home phone, cell phone, non-Tulane e-mail) through the confidential online form.
