Address Information
Active students can update their mailing and local addresses on the Personal Information tab in Banner Self Service (go to myW&M and click the Banner button). If you need assistance, please contact our office.
All students are required to provide and maintain a valid Mailing address and phone number. All students who do not reside on campus (i.e. in a residence hall) are also required to maintain a current Local address and phone number.
Note: If your mailing address is ALSO your local address, you must provide the SAME address for both address types.
