Reminder: OnTrack Contact Info Review (March 2-31)
We hope to never need to reach out to your emergency contact, but when we do, it’s important we can connect with them quickly. Beginning Monday, March 2, when you log in to OnTrack, you’ll be prompted to review your contact and emergency information as part of a new twice-yearly process to help ensure your information is updated and accurate. You can complete the process immediately when prompted or choose Skip for Now and return later.
