Official Name Change
If the University of Arizona Global Campus becomes aware that a student’s name recorded in the University system does not match their official name as reflected by the United States Social Security Administration, the Office of the Registrar will change the name in all systems to reflect the student’s legal name.
To update the University record as a result of a legal name change, the student must complete the University of Arizona Global Campus Change of Name Request form and provide copies of a Social Security card reflecting the new name, along with supplemental documentation, as outlined on the Change of Name form.
Preferred Name Change
The University of Arizona Global Campus recognizes that there are scenarios where a student may wish to utilize a non-legal name. The University will attempt to respect the student’s request to use a preferred name with the understanding that issues may arise with respect to financial aid processing, identity management authentication, and receipt and application of transcripts from other institutions. Students wishing to make a request to utilize a preferred name in University records should contact the Office of the Registrar or email preferredname@uagc.edu.
