Use of Preferred First Name (PFN)
ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ is aware that many of its students and employees use a first name other than their legal name.
A person’s legal first name will continue to be necessary for certain records and communications, both the legal first name and PFN (if requested) will be stored within ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ’s primary information systems.
The Registrar’s Office maintains a list of systems where PFN is currently used and will be used in the future. When a student contacts a ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ office in person or by phone, the staff in that office may only have electronic access to the student’s legal first name. To update your PFN please complete a Request for Change in Personal Information in your Student Portal.
Obtaining A New Eagle ID with Preferred First Name
If you update your Preferred First Name (PFN), you may request a new Eagle ID Card with your PFN listed. You are not required to request a new card if you choose to update your PFN.
After submitting a Request for Change in Personal Information, allow 48 hours for your record to update and export to the Eagle ID Card system. Visit the Card Services Office in the Student Services Center to pick up your new Eagle ID Card.
