Personal Directory Information
If your address or phone number has changed, please update your information through one of the following:
- Current students: Update through your myPurdue portal
- 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 a University Residence (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.

To initiate an update to your personal information, including country of citizenship, date of birth, legal sex marker, or name, complete the Information Change Request form and upload required documentation.
Social Security Number Updates
To submit an update to your Social Security number, complete the SSN Update form and provide required documentation along with a photo of your government issued ID.
Using Your Preferred or Chosen Name
