Student Preferred Name Requests

If your student uses a nickname, middle name, or other preferred name instead of the legal first name from your student's birth certificate, you can submit a preferred name request in Family Access to include this name in your student's profile.  NOTE: This process is only for preferred names and not for legal name changes. If you have changed your student's legal name, please submit the updated birth certificate to the campus registrar instead.

  • Click Save when done.
