How do I update my location when I move?

 

All campus service departments use the online directory (E-Directory) to locate mail stops and room numbers for departments and individuals when adequate contact information is missing.  Mail that comes in with missing address information and cannot be found in the online directory will be returned to sender.  When you change locations, you need to update the E-directory as soon as possible to ensure you continue to receive your mail. Currently you will need to call the IT Help Desk (4-4357, 4-HELP) to make changes to the E-directory.  Below is the link to the E-directory.
   
Access the E-Directory is at https://directory.ucdenver.edu/
