Updating Your Information in LU Directory

The LU Directory provides an internal directory and public directory.  The internal directory does include university information marked “not listed” for ease of communication internally (it does not include personal home addresses or phone numbers). The public directory does not include information marked "not listed."

The data in the directory comes from Banner.  Please update your profile information in Self-Service Banner.  Nicknames are managed separately in another system. If you have a nickname or use a middle name, contact customer support at 2222 to have your nickname added so people can find you.

Once you make an change to Banner, allow 24 hours to see your change in the directory.
