Online Directory FAQs

How do I change my information in the online phonebook?

Students:

  • You can change all address information via Athena. Log in to Athena, then select Student Records. Select Change Address Information.
  • You can restrict directory information with a FERPA Restriction. To enable a FERPA Restriction, contact the Registrar's Office.
  • Students wanting to change their name must fill out and submit a Name Change form to the Registrar's Office.

Faculty/Staff:

  • All faculty and staff are given a UGAMail address that includes their MyID. As all official University communications are sent only to UGAMail addresses, UGA faculty and staff cannot have their UGAMail addresses removed from the online directory. 
  • Contact your Departmental Human Resources representative to have any other information changed. Once Human Resources makes the change, it will be reflected in the online directory the next business day.

What is a FERPA restriction?

A FERPA restriction is a privacy option. More information about FERPA can be found on the Registrar's site.
