Address

Students need to maintain accurate address information on file with the university. They can change their address in HUB with their UBIT name and password or by completing a form.

Types of Addresses

Permanent Address

All students are required to have a permanent, up-to-date address on file.

  • Critical university communications may be sent to the student’s permanent address.
  • The diploma will be mailed to a student’s permanent address, which must be correct by the end of the student’s final term to ensure the diploma is sent to the correct address.

Local Address

This may be the student’s address in Western New York so the University can reach the student locally, or it may be the student’s permanent address outside of Western New York if they are fully remote.

Mailing Address

This is the address where the student’s mail is delivered. For residential students, this is the address where Campus Living will send mail during the summer after students move out of on-campus housing.

Residence Hall Address

This address indicates the student’s on-campus residence, and is supplied by Campus Living for students living in campus housing.

Emergency Notification

All students need to provide information of a person to be contacted in an emergency situation.

Student Employees Must Maintain an Updated Address

If a student is employed at the University by either the State of New York or The Research Foundation, they must also update / change their address with their employer. Changing / updating the student employee address record provides accurate delivery of their paycheck and W-2.

NOTE: Students will need their UBITName and password to access the Employee Profile System.
