Changing your Display Name

Your Display Name is a friendly name that is attached to your account and Mailbox.  It is used as a nickname in email and is how you are first presented in the email address book.

We automatically generate your Display Name from your student/staff record.  It is usually your firstname and lastname, unless you have specifically told us that you would like to be known as a different name.

There are instances where you may wish to have this changed.

Examples:

  • You wish to have your middle name removed
  • You have changed your name
  • You are an international student and would prefer to use an Anglicized first name

Unfortunately, this is not something you can do yourself. You must contact ISS IT Service Desk for this to be done.
