These directions are for changing your Home or Local Address on record with Valparaiso University. Home Address, for students, is your address of record for tax and other legal purposes, most often your parents'/family home address. This also applies for international students. A Local Address is where you reside while attending classes at Valparaiso University. If you live in a residence hall, your local address will reflect this location. If you live off-campus, please update your local address anytime it changes.
