  • Updated

OVERVIEW

This article explains how to update your personal contact information in MyMA as well as configure your emergency contacts. Configuring your emergency contacts allows those contacts to receive emergency alerts. Both students and parents should configure the emergency contacts in their MyMA account.

 

PROCEDURE

  1. Login to MyMA
  2. Click on your name in the upper right and then choose “Profile”

Note: Please update any outdated information on this page.

  1. Scroll down to “Emergency Contacts”
  2. Click on “Manage Phones” and you’ll get a window that allows you to drag and drop any/all listed numbers into the Active zone.  In order for notifications to be sent to you via our automated system, numbers must be listed in the Active column AND have either “Emergency Only” or “Every Time” selected from drop-down menu.

  1. An option of “Never” means these people are available as emergency contacts for MA administration to contact for other non-automated issues.
  2. Click Save.
  3. Click on Manage Email and follow similar steps. 
  4. You are able to add additional phone/email entries from within the corresponding area.
  5. The system syncs with our emergency contact vendor once a day, so you’ll need to wait 24hrs before these settings take effect.
