UT Contact Information

All UT Departments contact students using the information provided by students in UT Direct. Be sure to review your UT Direct contact information regularly to ensure it is up to date.

Your UTDirect emergency contact information must be updated annually, or the Registrar may place a bar on your registration. The University considers email communication to be an official form of notification, and it is the one most commonly used. Students should become familiar with the University’s Electronic Mail Student Notification Policy.
