Overview
This article shows you how how to update your information within Banner, our system of record keeping.
Please be advised, if you update your permanent address or legal name, you will need to contact Payroll at payroll@villanova.edu to fill out additional paperwork on their end that you need to complete. Please be aware you will need to update your W4 if you move addresses.
LEGAL Name and Email Updates
- Name changes (including legal name changes or corrections) do not automatically sync across systems. Employees must work with Human Resources to update the system of record (banner) and submit a UNIT support ticket to update their name in Active Directory and other connected systems.
- Email addresses associated with a name change will also require a UNIT ticket for updates. This is not an automatic process, and employees should be aware that email changes may take additional time to process.
For assistance, employees should contact their HR Campus Partner to ensure all necessary steps are completed.
You will need to submit a UTS helpdesk ticket at support@villanova.edu to have your email changed and to update your name in the Active Directory .
