It is the goal of the Office of the University Registrar to have changes completed within two (2) business days.


Preferred/Chosen Name

Students are required to provide their full legal name at the time of admission. However, they should be able to indicate how they would like to be addressed within the campus community regardless of their legal name. Therefore, as long as the use of an individual’s “preferred/chosen name” is not for the purposes of misrepresentation or falsification, it will be accommodated for campus use and documents except where the use of the individual’s legal name is required for university business or legal need. The legal name will still be required and used for all official, external communication.

Students are able to designate a preferred/chosen name within MavLINK. No legal documentation is required to make a change to a preferred/chosen name.

Preferred/Chosen Name will appear:

  • Rosters (class, grade)

Legal Name will appear:

  • Official/unofficial transcripts
  • Student Clearinghouse
  • 1098T documentation
  • Scholarships/Financial Aid Processing
  • Student Consolidated Bills

Development to accommodate use of a preferred/chosen name in University systems is ongoing. Not all University information systems, databases and processes may be able to display a preferred/chosen name and many uses of a student’s name require display of the legal name; therefore, individuals who utilize a preferred/chosen name should always be prepared to reference their legal name and provide corresponding identification when necessary. A preferred/chosen name designation is not a legal name change.


Changing Chosen Name, Pronouns and Gender Identity

Students will be able to designate a chosen name, pronoun, and gender identity within MavLINK.
No legal documentation is required to make a change to a chosen name, pronoun, or gender identity.
