A Primary Contact is a person that the Residence Management will call in case of emergencies (such as being transported to the hospital), conduct problems, missed payments, or if Residence Management becomes concerned for your wellbeing.

A Secondary Contact is a person that Residence Management will call if the Primary Contact is not available.

The best choice is a parent, legal guardian, or older family member.

If possible, this person should live within driving distance to the Residence in case they need to attend the Residence.

If a parent or guardian is not available to be a primary contact, the person you pick should be responsible and be able to respond to an emergency situation. A friend who is far away or a young sibling is not the best choice.

Please Note: Residence Management does reserve the right to request that you choose a different primary contact if they feel that either of your contacts are not suitable to respond to emergencies, or if your contact becomes unavailable.

If you have any questions about switching your primary or secondary contact, or you are wondering who is the best contact for you, you can contact your Residence Life Coordinator (RLC) in the Residence Life Office in the Back Lobby.

You can also ask your RA to put you in contact with your RLC, or you can pick up your RLC’s business card from Front Desk for further contact details.
