Preferred Name Request Form

While CUNY recognizes the importance that a change of name might have to students during their time with the University, a preferred name is not a legal name but is generally used to change how others refer to you. For this purpose, students may identify a preferred name to be recorded in the student system. No documentation is required to have a preferred name recorded. Documents and records that may display a preferred name include, among other things, course rosters, student identification cards, student email addresses, and other documents issued by the University. A preferred name will not be reflected on, among other things, a student’s official academic record, diploma, or transcript. The Preferred Name Request Form can be accessed here.
