Personal Directory Information

If your address or phone number has changed, please update your information through one of the following: 

• Current students: Use myPurdue 

• Newly admitted students: Update through your admissions application portal 

• Former students: Contact the Purdue Alumni Association at purduealumni@purdue.edu for further assistance.  

If you live in Purdue housing (like residence halls or Purdue Village), your address and phone number are updated daily by the Housing System. That means you can’t change them yourself. If something needs to be updated, talk to your Hall Manager or Account Clerk.
