Cell Phone Numbers Needed in Account Manager for COVID-19 Contact Tracing
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Aug. 14, 2020) — University of Kentucky Health Corps is asking all students, faculty and staff to enter a personal cell phone number into Account Manager (https://ukam.uky.edu) to provide a reliable contact method for COVID-19 notifications — including testing, exposure and daily screenings.
Students, faculty and staff can enter a personal cell phone number into Account Manager by visiting https://ukam.uky.edu and adding it to "Mobile Device Number" under the "Account Recovery and Notifications" section. This also enables your cell phone number to be used as a secure recovery method, should you ever get locked out of your UK account. For full instructions on how to complete this process, visit How to Set Up Your Password Recovery Options in the Tech Help Center.
Health Corps asks that you update your account information no later than Aug. 18, 2020.
