My UW Portal  Summer is a great time to access your personal information in My UW System portal and make changes as needed. You can update a variety of personal information including home address, home phone/email, emergency contacts, marital status, ethnicity/race, veteran status, and disability. Other information which you can only review can be modified by completing an Employee Data Form or contacting Human Resources at 262-595-2204. Did you know that less than 50% of employees provide emergency contact information? Even less update emergency or personal contact information on a regular basis. For your own safety and for the peace of mind of those closest to you, take a moment to review and update your personal information including emergency contact and personal contact . The effectiveness of our response in a crisis relies on the quality of contact information provided by you. How to Review and Update Personal Information On the UW Parkside home page, select Logins in the upper right hand corner of the page. Select My UW Portal and login using your network ID and password. Click on the Launch full app hyperlink on the Personal Information tile (pictured above). Review the personal information that appears on the page.
