At the beginning of each academic year, new and returning students must add, update, or confirm an emergency notification phone number, their current address, and at least one emergency contact. If you do not follow the steps to confirm/modify all your information, you risk having an emergency information registration hold placed on your account.
- Navigate to https://caesar.ent.northwestern.edu and sign in with your NetID and password.
- Select Student Homepage in the drop-down menu in the upper left corner.

- Click the Student Agreements tile.

- Click on the Emergency Information Collection task under To Do’s.

- Complete the Emergency Information Collection process.
- Step 1 of 6: Process Description – click Mark as Read, then click Next.

- Step 2 of 6: Contact Details - Review/update your phone number details. Before you can continue, you must ensure that at least one phone number for current or cellular phone types is designated for emergency notifications. To continue, click Confirm and then Next.
- Step 3 of 6: Addresses – Review/update your addresses. Click Confirm and then Next to continue.

- Step 4 of 6: Emergency Contact – Add/Update your emergency contacts. You can enter multiple emergency contacts if you choose. Click Confirm and then Next to continue.

- Step 5 of 6: Missing Person Contact – Hover over the More Info link for additional details. Click Next to continue.

- Step 6 of 6: Submit – Click Submit.

Once the Emergency Information Collection is submitted, you will receive an email confirmation and the registration hold will be removed immediately.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Simply updating the address, emergency contact(s), and emergency notification phone number through the Profile tile, will NOT prevent or remove a registration hold - the student will need to follow the steps above.
- If you do not see a task in the To Do's section under the Student Agreements tile and you need to update your personal information in CAESAR, please see this article.
- Access to the Student Agreements tile is for matriculated students only. Incoming applicants/students will not see the tile until they become a student.
