Your IRN or ‘Individual Record Number’ is your unique identification number. You can find it on the top right corner of your student portal in the drop down under your name. If you need your IRN in order to create a student portal login, please email [alumni@phoenix.edu](mailto:alumni@phoenix.edu) with all four of these items:

- Your name as it appears on your diploma
- Your graduation date
- Your birth date
- The last four (4) digits of your social security number

You can request an alumni confirmation letter by calling the Office of Admissions and Records Support Center at [(602)-557-4600](tel:602-557-4600). This letter states you graduated with degree type, date and that you are a part of the alumni association.

Profile & access

All updates to your contact information can be made on your [alumni profile](https://portal.phoenix.edu/profile) in the student portal.

These fields are not editable and are part of your official student record. If any of those fields needs to be updated, please contact the Office of Admissions and Records Support Center:

- By phone: 602-557-4600 or 800-866-3919
- By email at [ARSC@phoenix.edu](mailto:ARSC@phoenix.edu)

This is standard and you have nothing to worry about. Once you order your diploma, it takes time for our database to switch you from “student”’ to “alumni” status. This process typically takes about 30 days. If you need help ordering your diploma, please contact your Academic Representative.
