Changes to the U of A Directory (Find a Person)

On November 3, 2026, changes will be made to the U of A Directory (Find a Person) to improve the accuracy and reliability of employee information. The updates will align Department information with PeopleSoft HCM, complete contact-card clean-up, and support employees who require an additional contact card for other institutional roles.

Department information updates include:

• Employees will no longer be able to override the Department displayed on their Directory profile. Department information will reflect their current employment record in PeopleSoft HCM.
• Employees may continue to hide their Department and display their Department Group instead, including where privacy or security considerations apply.
• Department Group will be displayed on previously hidden primary contact cards when they become visible.

Contact card updates include:

• Existing additional contact cards that are not sourced from PeopleSoft will be removed.
• Beginning in December, the option to create an additional contact card will be available. The new card may include Title, Department, Email, Phone, and Address.
• Previously hidden primary contact cards will become visible. Employees may choose to hide the Title and Department displayed on these cards.
• Working Title will remain editable. Other contact-card editing options and non-contact-card features will remain unchanged.

What do I need to do?

After the November 3 implementation, log in to the Directory and review your profile. If you previously had an additional card that is still required,  you will be able to create a new one when the functionality becomes available in December.
