The Office of the University Registrar welcomes all new students to the university. We provide many services to all Vanderbilt students, faculty, and staff. We would like to highlight the Missing Person and Emergency Contact application that we recently implemented this past year.

The reauthorization of the Higher Education Act in 2008 required Vanderbilt to establish a missing student notification policy and procedures for students who reside in on-campus housing. One of the requirements of this notification policy and procedures is to give student the option to provide a confidential contact for campus police to contact if the student is officially determined to be missing.

We are encouraging all students to log in to YES (Your Enrollment Services) and to click on the envelope icon to report the name, address, and up to three phone numbers of a missing person contact as well as an emergency contact. While we hope that we never have to use this information, it is critical information if a student is missing or is involved in an emergency.

Once a student has obtained his/her VUnetID and e-password, the student may get a head start on providing this important information to the university prior to the start of the fall semester.
