Updating Employee Emergency Contact Information

Accurate and up to date emergency contact information is critical for every employee. In the event of an accident/injury or sudden illness, your Department, Division and/or Human Resource Services will use this information to inform your contact(s). To keep this information current, all University of Northern Iowa employees are urged to update their contact information each year or when a change occurs. To add and/or update your emergency contacts please access UNI e-Business Suite. Login and click on “UNI Employee Self Service” then click the “Emergency Contact Info” link. On the Emergency Contact Info: Extra Information page, please carefully read the instructions to guide your effort. For questions, contact the HRS office at hrs-mail@uni.edu or 273-2422.

Updating Online Directory

The UNI Online Directory is a source for current faculty and staff office contact information. To verify or make changes to your office and/or home (confidential) contact information, login to MyUNIverse > My Page > Update My Personal Information. This information is sent directly to Human Resource Services via e-mail and will be updated within four working days.

Google Workspace Storage and Quota Changes

Google announced in 2021 that unlimited storage is no longer available for education customers and will enforce a 320TB total storage limit for UNI. Action must be taken this year to keep us under the 320TB threshold that Google will impose on us in 2024. For more information visit the Information Technology webpage.

Security Awareness - Phishing Education Returns

The Phishing Education project is returning this spring. With the help of our vendor, realistic phishing messages will be sent to faculty and staff over the coming months. No punitive action will result from this exercise. All individual results will be kept private although large scale results and trends may be shared with appropriate partners. The sole purpose of the project is to educate the community and provide examples of things to watch for in real-life phishing messages.

Own Your Benefits: Virtual Healthcare Services

UnityPoint and MercyOne hospitals and clinics have online systems that allow patients to contact their care teams virtually. Through these platforms you are also able to request prescription refills, access test results, and read provider notes. Doctor on Demand, UNI’s option for a virtual office visit, allows 24/7 care for common symptoms. Utilizing these services lowers the risk of exposure and illness.
