When you select Primary Name, you can view the legal name that is on file. You can only view the primary name to verify, however you cannot update this online. 

  • If this information is incorrect, you will need to visit your institution in person and provide documentation as proof of your legal name.

If you have another name that you prefer to go by versus your legal name, select plus [+] to add a preferred name. This will allow for the services within your institution to see that you go by another name other than your legal name.

As an example if your name is William but you go by Billy, staff within the institution will be able to address you by Billy.
