Name Changes

 

Students

A request to change your name in the University Administrative System must be made in person at the appropriate office.

If you are a student and are not employed with the University, please bring an officially sealed document (i.e. a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or a notarized letter) and a picture ID to the Registrar's Office in the Wintergreen building and fill out a Change of Student Information form to have your name changed.  Name changes will only be processed if the student is registered for the current semester.

 

Social Security Number Change - Students

Official documentation of a change in Social Security Number must be presented (i.e. a copy of your new Social Security card along with a picture ID). 

 

Name Change - employees

If you are an employee (faculty, staff, or student) federal regulations require employers to validate that the employee's name on record exactly matches the name which appears on the individual's social security card to ensure proper tax reporting.  Thus, in order to reflect your name change on your personnel and payroll records, you must present your social security card which reflects your new name to the Payroll Office in the Wintergreen building.

If you have not requested a change of name with the Social Security Administration, please apply for a new card with the nearest Social Security Administration Office.  (Note: You will need to bring an original legal document reflecting your new name to support your request for the name change.  Examples of accepted legal documents include a birth certificate, marriage license, divorce decree, etc.)  Once you receive your new Social Security card, please bring it to the appropriate office.
