People.alaska.edu to replace EDIR

January 26, 2018

University Relations

The electronic directory People.alaska.edu will replace EDIR at UAF and UA Statewide beginning Monday, Feb. 5.

With EDIR, directory information was both viewed and edited in EDIR. After Feb. 5, People.alaska.edu will be the tool to search and view directory information, while UAOnline will be used to keep the directory information up-to-date. Self-service directory information updates will be made in the same familiar place you already go to update personal information — UAOnline. Now that each person’s directory information will be edited directly in UAOnline; department admins, PPAs and EDIR admins will no longer be editing personal directory information for others.

EDIR is open for edits through 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 2. That means that PPAs and EDIR admins will to be able to update directory information for others until that time. All information submitted by the close of business on Feb. 2 will be reflected in the People.alaska.edu directory. PPAs and other administrators may assist individuals in making changes or corrections in Banner using established business practice, and/or submitting forms to appropriate department(s)/business office(s).
