Each student will be documented by his/her legal name in the school’s database and departmental paper files (Admissions, Academic, Business Office and Financial Aid Office).  If the student has a preferred first name other than his/her legal given name, this will be noted as a nickname in the school’s database.

When a student changes his/her legal name either through marriage, divorce or for other reasons, he/she must inform the Academic Office immediately by completing a Name Change Form and attaching legal documentation of this change (i.e. marriage license, court papers).  The Academic Office will implement changes in the system within two business days.
