Updating your Personal Contact & User Identity and Account Information In PeopleSoft:

If your mailing or home address changes, it is important that you update it immediately. Failure to change an address may result in not receiving University mailings. If you are a current student, you can update your address by logging onto the Student Services Portal. Click on Student Center Login > Self Service > Campus Personal Information > Addresses. Choose the address type, click "Edit" and enter your new address.

Some students have multiple home addresses, so a new address type entitled "Home 2" has been created. Students choosing to use this feature should maintain the "Home 2" address just as they do the "Home" address. If you are no longer enrolled, you can still make changes to your information by mailing or faxing the changes to:

University of Pittsburgh
Office of the University Registrar
G-3 Thackeray Hall
Pittsburgh, PA 15260
Fax: 412-624-4303

You can also make address changes in person in G-3 Thackeray Hall.

Updating User Identity and Account Information 

Providing your Social Security number for admission is optional; however it is required for financial aid purposes. If you applied to SHRS via GradCAS and opted not to include your SSN OR you applied to SHRS for the Athletic Training (MS), Doctor of Audiology (AuD), Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD), Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), Physician Assistant Studies (MS), Prosthetics and Orthotics (MS) or Speech Language Pathology (MA/MS) using a centralized application service (CAS) application see these instructions on how to provide your Social Security number to the University of Pittsburgh.

You can also send either a copy of the Social Security card or fill out a W-9S form and send it to registration@registrar.pitt.edu.  The registrar's staff is well trained to work with the students to obtain this information.
