Currently Enrolled Students

Students whose names have been legally changed (see note below if you are a student employee ) should go to the Office of the Registrar, Franklin Hall 100, and file a change of name form. Legal documentation, such as a copy of a social security card, marriage certificate, or official court document, must be provided to support the name change. This name change will be reflected on the student’s official academic record. Once processed, notification of the name change will be sent to the student’s school (and major department for students in the College of Arts and Sciences or University Graduate School).

NOTE: Students who are employed by the university and have legally changed their name:

Hourly Employees must complete a Personal Data Change Form and take it to the Human Resource Records and Benefits Office, Poplars E165. Legal documentation, such as a copy of the social security card, marriage certificate, or official court document, must be provided to support the name change.

Legal documentation, such as a copy of a social security card, marriage certificate, or official court document, must be provided to support the name change.
