Updating Your Personal Information
If you are enrolled in any of our insurance offerings, you are able to access their sites for your coverage ID cards and your benefits. You will not be able to update your personal information on their sites, any changes should go through the WCM Registrar’s office via a Personal Information Update which is completed by logging into your Learn account. There is a Quick Link titled Personal Information Update on the left vertical menu.

Lawful spouse/domestic partners:
- Domestic students – the relationship must be documented by a domestic partner certificate, civil union certificate, or marriage license

Coverage Changes- Qualifying Life Events
