Manage Contact Information Step by Step Guide
What's in This Guide
Steps 1-3: Personal/Home Contact Information
As a student, add or update your current home address, phone number, and/or email address on file. By providing a mobile number and/or personal email in Workday, you will automatically be opted into CCA's RAVE emergency notification system.
Steps 4-5: Emergency Contact Information (Friends and Family)
You also need to add emergency contacts, such as parents or guardians, for CCA to contact in case of an emergency. CCA strongly recommends that students add more than one emergency contact.
Before You Begin...
Check out our Intro to Workday for a quick overview of some of Workday’s primary features. Next, learn how to navigate your student profile to complete a wide range of tasks.
1. Log in to Workday
a. Go to workday.cca.edu, and log in using your CCA Account credentials.
2. View Your Student Profile
a. Click the cloud icon in the upper right corner of your screen to view your profile submenu.
- When CCA uploads your photo, it will show up here instead of the cloud.
b. Click View Profile.
c. Navigate to your student profile.
- A tile appears on your profile Summary page with two headings: Worker and Student.
- Click your name beneath the Student heading.
- For more information on student and worker profiles, see step 3 of Navigating My Student Profile Step by Step Guide.
3. Manage Your Home Contact Information
(For Emergency Contact Information, Skip to Step 4.)
a. Click the Contact tab on your profile’s teal sidebar.
b. Within your student profile’s Contact tab, a menu of sub-tabs appears across the screen. Click the Contact sub-tab.
c. Click the Edit button.
- Student workers will be given the option to change Home or Work contact information.
- Select Change My Home Contact Information to proceed.
d. Update your address information as follows:
Primary Home Address
- Indicated by checking the checkbox “Primary” for one of your addresses. You can only have 1 primary address at a time.
- Your Primary Home Address should be the address where you are living for the current semester. This will be considered the address from where you are accessing any online classes.
- Unless you specify otherwise (see below), your Primary Home Address will be used for mailing, including paychecks, student refund checks, or your diploma. It is also considered your home address when not at school.
Additional Addresses
- If you would like to specify an address other than your Primary Home Address for mailing or other purposes, use the “Add” button to add additional addresses.
- It is important to specify how CCA should use these additional addresses, indicated by selecting one or more options in the “Usage” field. These are the Usages relevant for students:
- Mailing: If you specify an address as a “Mailing” usage other than your Primary Home Address, CCA will use this address for mailing paychecks, student refund checks, and most other mailed items.
- Permanent: This is your home address when you are not in school. If you live with your family when not at school, enter your family’s home address here. CCA will use this address for mailing your diploma and other items that would typically be mailed after the semester has ended.
In order to make changes to an address with an inactive Usage type, such as Online Learning Address, you must first update the Usage type to "blank" or to one of the valid options in the Usage dropdown.
- If you don’t specify an address with either a “Mailing” or “Permanent” usage, CCA will use your Primary Home Address for both mailings and as your permanent family address.
International Students
Remember that immigration regulations require you to update your address within 10 days of moving.
- Effective Date indicates the date a current address becomes valid.
Note: By providing a mobile number and/or personal email in Workday, you will automatically be opted into CCA's RAVE emergency notification system.

Protips
#1: Use the Workday search bar to update your personal contact information without having to navigate menus. Type in Change My Home Contact Information and click the corresponding task that appears.
#2: The Personal Information worklet in the Applications section of the Workday home dashboard lets you do many of the same tasks available in your student profile, such as changing contact info, personal info, and legal and preferred names. Please note that the Personal Information worklet is only available to students with work-study positions.
#3: Emergency Contacts associated with a worker profile are distinct from Friends and Family designated as emergency contacts within a student profile. Whenever you're managing emergency contacts as a student, look for Friends and Family on the form or table.
