Address, Phone Number, and Emergency Contact Info: 

Keeping your personal information updated is important as it ensures that the Payroll department, as well as other departments such as Human Resources, can contact you when necessary. This information is also used to withhold taxes and process benefits accurately, especially when an employee is working outside of Texas.

All of the following personal information can be updated via the Galaxy Staff Tools menu:

  • Home and Mailing Address
  • Phone Number
  • Emergency Contact Information

You can edit your Personal Details via the Galaxy portal, through Gemini > Gemini for Departments > Self Service > Personal Details. 

If you have questions about updating your personal information, please email payroll@utdallas.edu.

  1. Fill out a Personal Data Form Opens in a new tab. (PDF)
  2. Submit it with a copy of your new Social Security Card to Payroll and Tax Services.
