Emergency Contact Information

After tragic events occurred across university campuses in the United States, the University of Florida has implemented a new expansive emergency notification system.

The key item being collected is individuals’ cell phone numbers. In case of an emergency, the UF Emergency team will text message students, faculty, staff members at UF and the respective emergency contact.

All registering students are required to enter their emergency contact information in myUFL to register for classes. To meet this requirement, all students will have an Emergency Contact Hold in ISIS. This hold will be cleared the next time there is action on the system by the student. This means after the student has successfully entered the information, the student must log out. The next time the student logs in, the hold will be automatically cleared.

Addresses outside the US:

The full address can be entered in the Address Line boxes. The state should be entered as "Out of Country" and the country as "Non Specified".

If any of the phone numbers are from a country without country codes or the country code is not in the list, use the default value: 1

If any of the phone numbers do not have an Area Code, just type zeros:

More about Emergency Contact Information:

The Work Location and the Local Home Street Address cannot be PO boxes. They must be an actual physical location.

For the Emergency Contact Information, it is highly recommended to report a person that can be reached immediately. This person should be able to contact you, family members or individuals located outside the US when necessary.

For all these addresses it is very important to include the cell phone numbers associated with each one. The UF Emergency team will send text messages in the case of an emergency situation.
