Faculty, staff and student directory information is updated every business day by an automated process. Changes to directory information will take one business day to be reflected in the directory.

To update your directory information:
Students can submit updates in WINS (see directions).
Faculty & Staff should contact Human Resources to update their campus information. To update personal information, they should use the HRS system by visiting http://my.wisconsin.edu.

Information obtained from this directory may not be used for mass mailings to students, faculty or staff. Any solicitation of business, information, contributions or other response from individuals listed in this publication by mail, telephone or other means is strictly forbidden.

Personnel-related information in department listings (e.g. employee name, office location, title, phone number) is updated by Human Resources & Diversity. After submitting changes to HR & D, this information is updated every business day by an automated process. Changes to directory information will be reflected one business day after the changes are made by HR & D.

Department-level information (department name, phone number, website, fax number, division, etc.) can be updated by submitting a self-service ticket in ServiceNow with the Service indicated as “Campus Directory (Whitepages)” or by contacting the Help Desk.
