Policy on Name Changes on Student Records

Student records are maintained in the name you provided on your Application for Admission form. In the interest of accuracy, validity, and legality, all official records compiled at the university must be consistent, and that includes your name.

For example, if you used a shortened version of your legal name (such as Sue for Susan or Tom for Thomas) in your initial application, or, if you did not include a middle initial and you would like your legal name printed on your diploma, you must complete an online Change/Correction of Name application before applying for graduation.

Preferred Name

If you wish to use a name other than your legal name, you can follow the steps in the link below for your preferred name to appear on electronic course management systems (Sakai, Blackboard, Ecollege, Canvas, etc.), Class Rosters, and Student ID Cards.
