Update your Home Contact Information in Workday
Before you begin
This how-to guide is for any current employee or student, and will walk you through updating your home contact information.
Please note that your personal email and mobile phone number will automatically be included in the following uses:
- Rave emergency contact notification (see RAVE: Emergency Notification System for more information)
- CCA password resets
1 Log into Workday and navigate to your profile
Login to Workday at workday.cca.edu.
Once logged in, go to your profile using the icon/avatar at the top right corner of the screen.
2 View your Contact information
Navigate to your contact information screen, which is slightly different depending on whether you are viewing your employee or student profile:
- Students: In the left sidebar under your name, click on the Contact link.
- Employees: In the left sidebar under your name, click on the Personal link, then the Contact tab within the personal information section.
Here you'll see your Home Contact Information as well as Work Contact Information (for employees only) and Institutional Contact Information (for students only).

From your Contact Information screen

4 Updates to your primary home address
Default Usage
Your Primary Home Address handles official campus communications, paychecks, refunds, and tax forms by default.
- To redirect standard mail: Add an address with the "Mailing" tag.
- To receive your diploma: Add the "Diploma Mailing" usage tag to the appropriate address (instructions below). Diplomas will not be sent to your Primary address by default.
- If you live in a CCA dorm, you must add an additional permanent address and tag it with diploma mailing. Diplomas cannot be mailed to dorm addresses.
Effective Date
Always use today's date as the effective date for your address change, even if this is a future address for you. Future-dated address changes can cause system errors.
Primary Home Address
- Your Primary Home Address should be where you are living for the current semester, or where you are working if you are an employee.
- Indicate your Primary Home Address by checking the checkbox “Primary” for one of your addresses. One (and only one) address must be marked as Primary.
- International Students:
- You must set your Primary Home Address to your current California residence.
- Add your international address separately as a Permanent/Home address type.
International Students
Remember that immigration regulations require you to update your address within 10 days of moving.
5 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.
- Diploma Mailing: Follow these instructions to add the "Diploma Mailing" usage tag to the appropriate address where you want your diploma to be sent. Diplomas are typically sent two to three months after the end of the semester in which the student graduated.
- If you live in a CCA dorm, you must add an additional permanent address and tag it with diploma mailing. Diplomas cannot be mailed to dorm addresses.
- Permanent: For students only. This is your home address when you are not in school. If you live elsewhere when not at school, enter that home address here.
6 Update your home email and phone number
