Your Chosen Name may be used in mailings and other communications to students, as well as people outside of the WAC Community. The campus platforms that will be updated with the new information will include: - Class rosters - Self-Service - Email display names - Net ID* - Student ID cards (must request separately from Public Safety) - Housing rosters - Library Records - Peer Mentor Group lists - JobX - Athletic Rosters - Canvas** *Net ID remains the same for students whose first initial and last name are unaffected by the change. For students whose first initial and/or last name are changing, the Registrar's Office will submit a request to IT to generate a new Net ID. (An example of a Net ID is John Smith --> "jsmith.") **For Canvas specifically, students can always update their name and pronouns within their Canvas profile.
Your Chosen Name will appear in platforms across campus that may be visible to members of Public Safety, but the Registrar's Office will not notify them directly of this change. Please also be aware that because they will not be notified, they may refer to you by your legal name.
