Why didn't my name change in campus systems when I changed my name with Human Resources and/or the Registrar's Office?
The campus allows individuals the flexibility to control their display names through Account Center. There are situations when individuals will need to update their name with Human Resources and/or the Registrar's Office but would like to use a different name to display to other campus users. Instructions to change your display name are provided above. More information about student names is available here. Additional information about employee names can be found here.
