Who this printable is for

This printable is for students who want a private, student-controlled way to organize emergency contacts, medical basics, document locations, and optional campus or residence contacts.

Why this may matter in an emergency

In a college setting, the person who needs information may not be with the person who knows it from memory.

A concise sheet can help someone find contacts, allergies, medication lists, document locations, and support notes faster. It does not create instructions, permissions, or guarantees.

College handoff notes

Handoff notes can point roommates, family members, or trusted contacts to information locations. Do not write legal or FERPA advice, medical treatment advice, mental health crisis instructions, or campus policy directions.

  • Who the student wants contacted first and which contacts are for family, roommate, residence, campus, or medical questions
  • Where insurance cards, medication lists, allergy lists, doctor contacts, pharmacy information, and key documents are kept
  • Communication, mobility, sensory, equipment, or accessibility notes the student chooses to share
  • Where campus health, patient portal, or fuller medical record information can be found by the student

Where to keep it

Keep the printable where trusted people know to look, and use a safer private location for details that should not sit in public view.

Avoid putting passwords, financial account numbers, full Social Security numbers, door codes, or unnecessary sensitive details on a visible copy.

When to update it

Review the sheet when contacts, phone numbers, doctors, pharmacy, medications, allergies, forms, action plans, support needs, campus or workplace details, pickup details, or document locations change.

A quick review before a school year, daycare transition, camp session, college move-in, new job, travel, or major health change can keep the sheet useful.

Privacy and safety notes

Share only what is useful for emergency organization and with people who should have the information. Keep fuller records somewhere safer when a printed copy would reveal too much.

This page is for organization and emergency preparedness only. It is not medical advice, legal advice, FERPA advice, mental health crisis guidance, or campus policy advice and does not replace 911, EMS, campus emergency services, clinicians, medical records, medication labels, care plans, patient portals, campus health services, or professional guidance.

Printable sheet versus digital YourEMR profile

The printable sheet works well as a quick paper backup in a folder, backpack, binder, dorm file, desk drawer, go-bag, or handoff packet.

A digital YourEMR profile can hold fuller details that change over time, such as contacts, medications, allergies, doctors, document locations, and support notes. Update the profile and print a fresh copy when something changes.

Helpful terms

  • Trusted support contact: A person the student chooses to list for help locating information or contacting family.
  • Campus or residence contact: A campus office, residence hall, apartment office, or local contact the student chooses to include.
  • Insurance basics: High-level plan or card location details if the student is comfortable sharing them.
  • Document location: Where the student keeps cards, records, forms, or portal information.
  • Student-controlled copy: A printable the student chooses to create, update, store, and share.

College Student Info details to record

Use short factual entries copied from current forms, labels, contact lists, and the person's own records. Keep the sheet easy to scan.

For college, focus on information the student chooses to share: emergency contacts, trusted support contacts, campus or residence contacts, medications, allergies, doctors, pharmacy, insurance basics, and document locations.

  • Name, date of birth if appropriate, emergency contacts, backup contacts, and preferred support contacts
  • Allergies, medications as parent-provided or person-provided information, doctors, specialists, pharmacy, and document locations
  • Communication, mobility, sensory, equipment, comfort, accessibility, or support notes that help someone find the right information quickly
  • Where official forms, care plans, action plans, patient portal information, or fuller records are kept
