Emergency and Confidential Contact Information

Residential Life requests all current student housing residents to check and verify their emergency and confidential contact information.  These important resources are used during your stay in on-campus housing in the following manners:

Your Emergency Contact

In the event you are transported off-campus, Residential Life’s practice is to contact the identified emergency contact within 24 hours.  The following information will be shared with your emergency contact:

1. Your First and Last Name
2. The date on which you were transported off campus
3. The location and contact information where you are being transported (if known)

Residential Life will not share the nature of the transport with the emergency contact.

Should your listed emergency contact information not reflect the individuals you wish us to notify in these circumstances, please log in to San Francisco State University’s Gateway and update this information.

Your Confidential Contact

In the event you are reported missing, Residential Life’s practice is to contact the identified confidential contact within 24 hours.  The following information will be shared with your confidential contact:

1. Your First and Last Name
2. The date on which you were reported missing or last seen

You may review the “Missing Student Guidelines”.

Please visit the Student Housing Portal and complete the Contact Information form (located on the Housing Forms page) to update your Emergency and Confidential Contact.

These practices are guided under the provisions of the Family Educational Rights to Privacy Act (FERPA).
