UD employees and students sometimes have reason to request an update of their name on file in UD’s information systems. There are three kinds of name changes:
- Legal name change: A request to update your legally-recorded name (e.g., a last name change after a marriage).
- Chosen name change: A request to display the name you prefer to be called, like a nickname, middle name, or alternate name.
- Username change: A request to update the UD username you use to login to University systems (e.g., After Rudy Flyer graduates and takes a job at UD, he may ask to update his username from flyerr1 to rflyer1; a recently married employee wants a username that matches their new legal last name).
Changing your Chosen or Preferred name
If you’re a UD employee, submit a Change in HR Personal Data Request form to have your chosen or legal name changed in UD’s information systems.
If you’re a UD student, complete the Name Change Request Form and email it to Flyer Student Services (fss@udayton.edu) to have your chosen or legal name changed in UD’s information systems.
Changing your UD username
If you’d like to update your UD username due to a name change or a change in your student / employee status, first contact Human Resources / Flyer Student Services as described above.
When you’ve received confirmation that your name / status has been updated in UD’s information systems, complete the IT General Help Request to ask for your UD username to be updated.
