Overview
This article contains the steps to update and add your U.S. address and phone number in Self-Service Banner. Note: Federal regulations require all International students to maintain their Permanent address as their home country and update their U.S. Address (Local) and phone number within ten days of changes. Home country permanent address changes must be updated through a different process here. Failure to comply may result in severe immigration-related consequences. Please get in touch with the International Center with any questions.
