Blugold Central: Preferred Name Change

Last updated

This form is for currently enrolled students so they may file a preferred name change. Only first and middle name may be changed to a preferred name. Please be advised that changing your first and middle name is not the same as legally changing your name through the courts. If you have a legal name change, please complete the “Legal Name Change” form and provide supporting legal documentation.

A student’s preferred name will appear in the online University directory, Canvas, as well as the following pages in CampS: advisor center, student center, class roster, grade roster, and degree audit. A student’s primary name will still remain and appear on all documentation excluding the previously mentioned.
