How do I change my name?

This applies only to employment records.  If you are a student and an employee, receiving pay through the payroll system, you will need to change your name with both Human Resources and Student Registration.  Click here for information on changing this information with the Student Records.

Examples of reasons to request a change in name: Marriage, Divorce, Legal Name Change or correction to an error in spelling.

In order to change your name you will need to provide your department HR/payroll contact person with a copy of your social security card which reflects the current name.  The name used on your social security record should match exactly the name under which the University reports your earnings. Your departmental HR contact will then be able to process a PAF to reflect the name change.

Keep in mind that you may want to consider changing your tax status in relation to your name change.
