Academic Records
Official academic records are maintained for each student in Academic Records under the supervision of the Registrar. These records are accessible only to university personnel who have a legitimate need for information. Individual records are made available to others only upon the specific request of the student. Prior to the completion of 90 hours of academic credit, students should visit Academic Records and their academic advisor’s office to ensure that requirements are met for graduation.
Declaration of Academic Program
Upon initial registration, all degree-seeking students must tentatively declare their intended degree program or major field of study.
Students may request to change their declarations at any time via the Declaration of Academic Plan Change Form (found in Forms and Information of the Student Portal). Changes must be approved by the advisor.
Changes made after the end of sophomore year may result in a delay in graduation.
Requesting a Name Change
Any currently enrolled student requesting a legal name change must provide proper legal documentation with the new legal name to the Office of Academic Records. A request for a legal name change must not contradict any student code of conduct policy. The request must include one piece of government-issued documentation (driver’s license, passport, marriage license, divorce decree, etc.) in order to change a name in the student information system. The government-issued documentation must include the new legal name. A copy of this documentation will be saved in the student's permanent academic file.
No request for a name change will be considered without properly authenticated legal documentation.
Students not currently enrolled may not request a name change. Academic records are sealed with the name of the student on their last day of enrollment at the university.
