Overview
Human Resources worked with University Technology Services (UTS) to create a self‑service option for employees to update their campus address information. This solution incorporates all Villanova‑owned and Villanova‑leased buildings.
All employees are required to re‑enter their current worked‑in location in MyNova using the new Campus Address Change form, even if their address has not changed.
This effort helps ensure campus address data is stored in a standardized format, which supports clearer communication to employees in specific buildings, improved reporting and planning, and cleaner data going forward.
FAQs
Why is the University asking me to update my campus address?
The University is updating campus address information to improve the accuracy, consistency, and usefulness of location data. Accurate campus addresses support clearer communication to employees in specific buildings, improved reporting and planning, and stronger alignment across University systems.
Why is this happening now?
Historically, campus address information was primarily maintained to support physical desk phone tracking.
Over time, many campus address updates were made manually, and building names and campus locations have also changed. As a result, some address data has become outdated or inconsistent.
This update allows the University to reset and standardize campus address information, ensuring records accurately reflect where employees work today and support modern communication, planning, and service delivery needs.
What does “resetting campus address records” mean?
Existing campus address records will remain on file, but employees are required to re‑enter their current worked‑in location.
Re‑entering the information—even if it has not changed—helps confirm that the address is current and ensures data is accurate and consistent moving forward.
What do I need to do?
Employees should enter their current worked‑in location in MyNova. You will be entering your location as if for the first time, which is expected as part of the reset.
What are the benefits of this update?
Updating campus address information helps the University:
- Improve communication to employees in specific buildings or locations
- Support more accurate reporting and planning
- Strengthen campus safety and emergency response
- Eliminate outdated location data tied to former phone or building structures
- Reduce the need for future manual corrections
- Create a more consistent experience across University systems
What if I work in a Villanova‑owned or Villanova‑leased building?
All employees who work in a Villanova‑owned or Villanova‑leased building should be able to locate and select their building when entering their campus address.
Important: If you work in a Villanova‑owned or leased building and cannot find your building, please contact support before submitting your update.
What if I have a hybrid or partially remote arrangement?
Employees with hybrid or partial on‑site arrangements should enter their primary on‑site campus location, in alignment with their approved work arrangement.
What if I work fully remote?
This form is NOT for fully remote employees. However, If you work remotely:
- Your worked‑in location must match your permanent (home) address, and
- You must have an approved remote work arrangement on file.
Remote employees should not select a Villanova-owned building unless they have an on‑site assignment.
Do I need to update my address if nothing has changed?
Yes. While your campus address will remain on file, the format in which campus addresses are stored is changing. To support this update, all employees are required to re‑enter their current worked‑in location, even if the information itself has not changed.
Re‑entering your address helps confirm that the information is current and ensures campus address data is stored in a consistent, standardized format moving forward.
When should my update be effective?
Campus address updates should be entered with the date your are making the update.
If my work location changes in the future, what do I need to do?
Employees are responsible for updating their campus address any time their onsite worked‑in location changes. Keeping this information current helps ensure accurate communication, reporting, and planning.
Who should I contact if I have questions or need help?
If you have questions, cannot locate your building, or are unsure which location to enter, please submit a service ticket and it will be routed to the UTS EWS group.
