Accessible Guide for Contact Information Verification

Purpose: This article will provide the text from the Contact Information Verification Introduction Screen image in the Student Contact MaineStreet Activity Guide.

Detailed Information

Please take a moment to review your contact information and emergency contacts on the following pages. Current contact information enables the University to contact you or your designated emergency contact(s) as necessary, and helps us ensure a safe and healthy University community.  If Mailing, Diploma, and Refund Addresses are the same as your Home Address, you only need to update your Home Address.

Below is helpful information to understand address types. This information can be updated at any point.

INFO: For official University Business, We will use your maine.edu email address. You may forward your maine.edu email to your preferred personal email address if you wish to use only a personal email address.
Address Type Student Description
Home What do you consider your permanent address to be? This is potentially where you return during breaks, where you will return after graduation, or where you live all the time. Home address will be leveraged as your mailing address until a separate mailing address is given.
Mailing If you cannot receive mail at your physical address, please provide local P.O. Box Information.  This address is part of directory information and the only address that will be released on request to outside agencies.
Local If you live off campus, what is your physical address?  This is where you are living--perhaps temporarily--while school is in session.  If you live on campus, please don't add your residence hall address--this information is maintained by Residence Life.
Campus Optional:  If you are employed on campus, what is the location where you work?  If you have more than one work location, please choose one.
Billing What is the personal address to which the university should send your semester bills and/or statements? (Please do NOT enter corporate, school, or third-party billing information here; if your bills should be sent to a third party, please contact your Campus Business Office if you have not done so already.)
Diploma Where should the university send your diploma?
Refund Where should the university send a refund check if your student account is overpaid?

Please note that your personal information is handled in accordance with student privacy regulations; for more information please consult the FERPA Guide.
