The wellbeing of our employees and students is of the utmost importance to us. From an organizational perspective, accurate records are essential for duty of care. As such, Lakehead University requires all employees and students use this form to provide an Emergency Contact Person(s) the University can contact in the event of having serious concerns for their health and safety. Keeping this information updated is especially important when there are life changes, such as moving, changes in relationships, or new phone numbers.

How to update Emergency Contact Information?

Lakehead University employees and students will be able to input and update an Emergency Contact through myPortal on the "Personal Information" card.

How will your information be used?

Access to Emergency contact information will be restricted to essential University Staff only.

The University will only make contact in serious and compelling situations, and will endeavour to first obtain your permission to contact their Emergency Contact Person(s), although we accept that this may not always be possible. If required, the University will pass the emergency contact(s) details and any stated medical information provided in this form to emergency service providers to support them in their role.

If you have any questions or concerns on the use or collection of this information please connect with one of the following teams:

Students - Contact Student Central
