Emergency Contact Info on MySlice

Don't leave this information blank! 

Did you know that many SU students choose to leave their emergency contact data screen blank? We believe that it is because you do not want us sharing information with your parents/family members without your permission; which, of course, is illegal, and not the purpose of this info screen at all.
 
The emergency contact data on  MySlice is used by University personnel for notification of someone in case of emergency if you are unable to do so yourself. In fact, the University does not mandate that this contact be a parent or guardian; it can be another relative or even a friend. The most important part is that this section is NOT left blank.
 
Log in to your  MySlice account and make sure that your emergency contact information is completed!
