The Family Contact requests contain changes for member's contact information, such as:

  • First Name, Last Name, Middle Name (for non-students)
  • Gender (for non-students)
  • Phone (cell, work, other)
  • Primary and Secondary Email Address

These options are determined by the Portal Self Service settings.
