Step 3: Verify Your Mailing Address and Emergency Contact

The University of Colorado needs to have the ability to contact the person you designate as your emergency contact in the event of a serious illness to you, an accident, or other unforeseen event. In addition, the University also needs to know where you live for the purpose of sending out correspondence, or in the event of a fire, flood, or other type of event where assistance might be needed. Because of this, we now need you to provide us this information prior to each registration. Note that any name and address you designate as mother, father, spouse, etc. is protected from release to any party outside of the University of Colorado.

EVERY semester you must verify your MAILING address and EMERGENCY CONTACT information before you can register. If you make additional changes to your mailing address or emergency contact during that term, you will need to verify again.

ATTENTION STUDENTS WITH A FOREIGN ADDRESS: If you have a foreign address for either your mailing address or emergency contact, you will need to contact our office so that we can enter the information for you. There are 3 ways to change your address:

Call the registrar’s office at 303-492-6970, and have a registration assistant add your address over the phone.
Please come in to the Office of the Registrar in Regent 105, and bring a photo ID.
Email from your official CU student email, your foreign mailing address and emergency contact information to address@colorado.edu.

Please include

Your first and last name
Last 4 digits of your student ID number
Your complete address information, including the name of the emergency contact and their relationship to you (parent, spouse, grandfather, etc.)

International Address Form

F.A.Q.’s:

You must enter the address type of mailing, and then select one other address type for your emergency contact.
The emergency contact address CANNOT be your mailing address OR your permanent address.
If you have entered a mailing address and a primary emergency contact (not permanent address), and are still having problems, please call our office at 303-492-6970.
Make sure you have VERIFIED for the term you are registering for. Click the “VERIFY for Term” button to verify your mailing address and emergency contact information for the term you are registering for.
Use the generated messages in BLUE at the top of the screen on the address verification page, when you are verifying your address, for additional information. These messages are very specific and can help you navigate through the verification process.
Even if your mailing address and permanent address are the same, you must still enter an emergency contact, by selecting another address type. So, you could have a mailing address, permanent address, and emergency contact that are all the same address.
After you enter the address, make sure you click on the button directly under the Email Address “Update This Address”, to save the address in your profile.
