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.
