Address Window

Functions > Student Info > Address

Students can and should update their own addresses and phone numbers at webstac, though the deans’ offices and several other administrative areas also have the ability to enter and change student address information through SISAdmin. The Address window is available on an Inquiry basis to all users of SISAdmin, even those without access to the student’s academic record.

NOTE: At webstac, students are not permitted to delete a Local or Home address, though some may remove enough meaningful information so as to make the address useless. Prior addresses are available through SISAdmin for all address types under the “Logged Address Information” portion of the address screen.

Additional information about this and other SIS records is available in the SIS User’s Guide and the SISAdmin Help link at the bottom of this page.
