Review/Update Your Personal Information Before You Leave the UW
April 20, 2015

As the academic year winds down, thoughts turn towards summer.  For many employees of the UW system institutions, the last few weeks of the semester are a flurry of activity as people tie up loose ends before they leave for the summer break, leave employment at the UW entirely, or shift into summer session or summer service duties.

As you finish the items that remain on your own to-do-list, we’d like to encourage you to take a second and review your personal information in the Personal Information module of My UW System and to update that information if necessary.  Log in to the portal and select the Work Record tab to locate the Personal Information module.

Why is This Important?

Even if you’re leaving the UW, or you’re not going to be working at a UW institution for a few months, there may be a need for your employer to contact you.  Please take a few moments to review your address information, and make sure it is up-to-date.  This is especially true if you are moving over the summer; it’s easy to overlook this simple step, but it could help ensure that you receive important information concerning your benefits, your paychecks, or your employment at the UW.

Also, while you are in the ‘Personal Information’ module reviewing your address information, you are also encouraged to update your Emergency Contact information.

Questions?

If you have questions, review the instructions on how to update your personal information: https://uwservice.wisc.edu/help/personal-information/.

If you have other questions, contact your Benefits Office.
