Information Technology recently updated some of the tools in the mySEMO Portal. This article has been updated to reflect these changes.
It is very important to keep personal cell phone and email address information up to date in the Banner system at Southeast. Information Technology uses this information to:
-
Contact or alert you when there are issues with your account - i.e. your account has been compromised.
-
Notify users when a change has been made to their banking (i.e. direct deposit) information.
-
Help the IT Help Desk to more easily confirm a user's identity.
-
Please note: This alternate contact information is not listed in the People Directory or People Search facilities on the SEMO website, or to be used for university marketing purposes. It is only accessible to those with access to Banner (i.e. Human Resources, Information Technology, etc.).

The remaining sections work much the same way as the previous section and should be self-explanatory.
For Southeast faculty and staff, an office location, phone number and mail stop can be entered. This information is used to populate the People Search function on the university website.
For Southeast students, faculty and staff the Permanent Address is the user's home mailing address, and personal phone information. While optional, it is important to update/enter a Cell Phone in order to use the Self-Help Password Reset facility. This allows users to reset their account password at anytime, whether the Help Desk is available or not.
