The name on the student record should be the student's complete and legal name.  In evaluating and processing all name changes, the University reserves the right to require adequate and appropriate documentation, as warranted. 

A name change request may be processed through a signed request form or an official application for admission or employment at the University.  Additional documentation is not required for name changes due to marriage, divorce, or for changes to or from a formal name or initial.  Additional documentation is required to alter the order of name, to change the spelling, add a title, delete or hyphen to an existing name, or completely change name. 

A signed release is required to remove directory information holds; therefore, we are unable to lift the holds by phone. You may come to our office in person to have the holds removed, or you may do so electronically through your MyUNIverse account.

Directory information may be suppressed under the privacy tab in MyUNIverse or by submitting a signed release to the Office of the Registrar to release/suppress your information. Please note that suppression of any item of directory information will prevent publication of your name for Dean's List, and may prevent you from receiving information from academic departments, honoraries, service organizations and so forth.
