Chosen Name Process
Students and employees may request a new or updated chosen name by completing the "Chosen Name Request form" located on the "Personal Information" tab of MyInfo. Requests will be reviewed by staff from the Office of the Registrar or by Human Resources, as appropriate. Once processed, the chosen name will be updated in Banner, and most applicable campus systems will be updated within a week. A new University email may also be issued as part of this process.
