Change of Name

Students who marry, divorce, or by court order change their name and wish to change the name on their permanent academic record must do so in person. The student should submit a Change of Name form to the Office of Registrar; Orr Center, room 1075. The request must be accompanied by a social security card bearing the new name.

NOTE: Student employees must submit the Change of Name form and social security card to the Human Resources Department; Forum Wing of the Wright Administration building, room 166. Federal regulations require employers to validate that each employee's name on file exactly matches the name which appears on the individual's social security card to ensure proper tax reporting.

If you have not requested a change of name with the Social Security Administration, please apply for a new social security card with the nearest Social Security Office. (Note: you will need to bring an original legal document reflecting your new name to support your request for the name change. Examples of accepted legal documents include a birth certificate, marriage license, divorce decree, etc.) Once you receive your new social security card, please bring it to the appropriate office(s).
