Address

The University maintains three mailing addresses for use by University systems, Directory Release, and other official purposes. Students are expected to maintain address information current.

Address Types

Local Address: Local Address is a postal-recognized location of a student and is used when the student is actively attending classes at the UW.
Permanent Address: The permanent address is a postal-recognized location (NOT a PO Box) that an applicant, student, or former student identifies as their permanent address on their application.
Parent Address: Parent Address is a postal-recognized location of a student’s guardians and is used when the student is actively attending classes at the UW.

Where Addresses are Used

Students can indicate whether to use their Local or Permanent Address for tuition-related information, registration confirmations, financial aid mailing, and their diploma within Student Personal Services (SPS).

How to Submit an Address Change

Domestic Students

Student Personal Services: Local, permanent, and parent address changes must be completed using SPS.
Updates: Address changes in SPS impact the addresses provided to the Student Directory and used by the Office of the University Registrar, Office of Student Financial Aid, Student Fiscal Services, and other University departments and offices.

International Students

SPS: Local address changes must be completed using SPS.
ISS: Local and permanent address changes must be reported to International Student Services.

Student Employees at UW

Workday: Student employees must complete local and permanent address changes using Workday Employee Help.
Updates: Address changes in Workday impact paycheck and W-2 delivery and are used by the UW Payroll and Human Resources system.
