You can view the data displayed in a BGSU Directory Search by logging into MyBGSU and selecting Update Personal Information under Academic Services in the My Services module. Off-campus students can update their mailing address and phone using MyBGSU.  For personal data fields that are not accessible for edit, there are instructions with the office to contact to request an update.  For example, on-campus students will see their Residence Hall address as maintained by the Office of Residence Life but cannot modify it themselves.  Instead students are directed to contact the Office of Residence Life to request a change to the displayed information for this data.  Also graduate student employees may view their employment information in MyBGSU but need to request updates to it by contacting the Graduate College. 

The chart below lists the office to contact based on the field in your record that contains the error.
