Change of Name or Address

A student who changes name, residence, or mailing address is expected to notify the Office of Student Records of this change immediately. Any communication from the University that is mailed to the name and address of record is considered to have been properly delivered.

All name change requests must be submitted with supporting documentation. Changes to the first, middle, and/or last name, suffix, or sequence of names will require the original or a certified copy of one of the following:

  •     Government Issued ID (driver license, state ID card, valid passport)
  •     Birth Certificate
  •     Marriage Certificate
  •     Court Order (must show change to new name)
  •     Divorce Decree (must show change to new name)
  •     Certificate of Naturalization/Green Card
  •     Documentation of Common Law Marriage/Civil Union

No documentation is required to add/delete a hyphen, space, apostrophe, or to abbreviate a middle name to initial.
