• How do I change my preferred or legal name at KU?

  The Preferred Name Policy

  The university understands that some students may wish to use another name other than their given first name as recorded on official documents and has implemented a policy to honor this choice.

  The Preferred Name Policy allows students to change their name as it appears on rosters, their email, and other unnamed platforms. Students can also change their legal name through the office of the registrar.

  PREFERRED NAME CHANGE form

  Students can change their preferred name by filling out the Preferred Name Change Request Form.  This preferred name will not affect the legal name being displayed through MyKU and other official records (i.e. transcripts, financial records, etc.). The preferred name is applicable only for Kutztown internal systems.

  Get the PREFERRED NAME CHANGE REQUEST FORM at the KU Registrar website on the Forms Page.  Student will be required to sign in with their KU credentials which includes your full email address and password. 

  Follow the directions and submit the form at the Registrar Forms page.

  Legal Name Change Form

  Students are also able to change their legal names by filling out the Student Name Address Change Form and providing documentation of the name change. (Marriage Certificate, Divorce Decree, Court Order)

  Get the STUDENT NAME ADDRESS CHANGE FORM at the KU Registrar website on the Forms Page.  Student will be required to sign in with their KU credentials which includes your full email address and password.

  Follow the directions and submit the form at the Registrar Forms page.
