Request Assistance with Online Directory

Overview

The University of Alaska Online Directory includes contact information for departments, current faculty, and staff.

Staff & faculty can update their individual directory information via the Online Directory. Department managers, or other delegates, may update directory information either via the Online Directory, or by submitting a ticket Requesting Assistance with the Online Directory. Departments needing to add or delete a listing must submit a ticket.

Department

Have a new department or program added to the Online Directory or request changes to an existing department. This include the removal of a department, changes to the structure and employees listed under the department. The directory delegates for a department or unit are responsible for approving and updating their unit's Online Directory content. Individual units are responsible for determining their own process for collecting and maintaining their department directory information. Delegates are able to make most changes to the departments information themselves. 

Requests to have a department added or removed must be made by the department or unit head. Requests can be submitted on their behalf as long as the memo stating the addition or removal of the department is attached.

Before making a request for a new department or program, search the Online Directory site to make sure the unit is not already listed. Subunits are often listed as part of the parent unit listing. Duplicate listings are not allowed. The department head should determine who on their staff will serve as the directory delegate(s).
