Change of Address 

Students are required to keep their addresses updated in my.emich (see this video for instructions). When you update your address in my.emich it informs the campus departments as well as OISS of your address change. It is also very helpful to keep your phone number updated in my.emich so the OISS can reach you if there is an emergency.
