Change of Preferred Name Accordion Closed
Current students can indicate a “preferred” (or chosen) first name, which is a name the student wishes to be commonly known as, if different from the student’s legal first name. As long as the use of the preferred first and/or middle name is not for the purpose of misrepresentation, it will appear instead of the person’s legal name on Class Rosters, Grade Rosters, Course Management System (Canvas), and the Online Directory. The student’s legal name will remain unchanged in all other university related systems where the use of the legal name is required by university business or legal need.
Please complete the Change of Name Form, with your Preferred name and submit the form to the Office of the Registrar.
