Change preferred name

You may set a preferred name in WaveNet. When you make this change, it will only apply to Wavenet, not any other University service.

A WaveNet preferred name change is not a formal or official name change. To submit a formal name change, students should contact the Registrar's Office and faculty or staff should contact Human Resources. The appropriate department (Registrar or HR) must complete the full PeopleSoft name change process in order for the change to affect other University-managed tools like Courses and Google. Formal name changes can take up to one business week (5 business days) for processing.

  1. Select the "Personal Info" icon. Select the pencil icon next to your name.
    • On Mobile: Click "Names" under the Personal Information Section
  2. In the pop-up window, you can edit, delete, or add names by clicking the corresponding "Edit" button.
