As a reminder, students will be required to update/verify their emergency information for the spring 2023 semester in AccessPlus starting January 4, 2023.

This information is vitally important in an emergency, which is why Iowa State University now requires all enrolled students to list their cell phone number, in-session/local address, and at least one emergency contact.

In order to ensure all student emergency information records are comprehensive and current, you will need to complete or verify your information prior to gaining access to the “Student” tab in AccessPlus (this includes class schedule, registration, financial aid info, etc.). Completing this update will take approximately two minutes, and these record updates will only be required once per semester.

If you experience any technical challenges updating your emergency information in AccessPlus, please contact the IT Solution Center at 515-294-4000.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact the Dean of Students Office, [email protected], 515-294-1020.
