How do I add an emergency contact?
Emergency Contacts are added in the Emergency Contacts Page in Online Registration.
To add an Emergency Contact, click on 'Add another Emergency Contact button' and enter their details in the following fields:
Order field
This is a mandatory field and informs the University the priority order you wish us to contact your Emergency Contacts, should there be a need to do so. If you have multiple Emergency Contacts, you can amend their priority order. Select a record and click on the ‘Edit’ button. Click into the Order drop-down menu and select a new order value you wish to assign to a particular Emergency Contact.
Note: An order value of 1 means you want this Emergency Contact to be contacted first.
Relationship
This is a mandatory field. From the drop- down menu, select a value that best describes the relationship between you and your Emergency Contact e.g. Parent, Sibling, Friend, Guardian and so on.
Name details
Insert the first name and the last name of your Emergency Contact in their respective mandatory fields. If your contact has a middle name, enter that detail as well.
Emergency Contact Address
- Start by selecting the Country in which your Emergency Contact lives in.
Emergency Contact Lives in the UK
- If your Emergency Contact lives in the UK, you can use the ‘Postcode Lookup’ function to complete the Emergency Contact Address fields. Enter a valid UK post code and click on ‘Find Address’. A drop-down menu of addresses will appear. Select your Emergency Contacts address from the selection list. Their address will automatically populate in the address section.
- Alternatively, you can also enter your Emergency Contacts address manually.
