Emergency Contact Information

It is very important for the University to have accurate Emergency Contact information for all students in the event of an emergency.

You are required to have emergency contact information on file with the university. Failure to do so will result in a hold placed on your account, which will prevent you from registering for classes.

If you are an incoming student to JMU please enter your Emergency Contact Information by logging in to e-campus.

If you are a returning student or your information has changed, log in to e-campus and update your Emergency Contact information.

Updating your Information

To enter or update your information: log on to E-campus, go to the bottom of the page to the “Personal Information” section, then click “Emergency Contact" to add or edit information.  You have four emergency contact telephone numbers for each contact person you list (cell, fax, home and work).

A "Help" button is available for your use on each page or you may call the UHC Health Information office at 540.568.6178 (Choose option 2) for further assistance.

Tutorial

We have developed an Emergency Contact tutorial that walks you through the process of entering or updating your information on e-campus. Click e-campus tutorial to access the .pdf file. You must have **Adobe Reader on your computer to access this file.

Please Keep this Information Updated

Again, it is extremely important that your Emergency Contact information be accurate and kept up-to-date. This is the information the University uses in case of a crisis situation. So, please take the time to review the information and make any changes that are necessary.
