Staff Accounts: How can I request a name change?

Back to FAQs homepage | Back to Accounts, passwords & security / Staff accounts category

Staff members can change their names for various reasons, and may want to update the University’s IT systems to reflect the changes.

Display Name Change:

You can change your display name without changing your legal name by for it to be reflected on the University’s IT systems. For example, changing your first name from Daniel to Dan. To do this you need to log a ticket to change your name on our systems through the IT self-service portal.

Legal Name Change:

To do this, you will need to contact H.R. with legal proof of name change, e.g. a marriage certificate. H.R. will be able to advise further on accepted documentation.

One that is done, you can log a ticket to change your name on our systems through the IT self-service portal.
