How to Request a Preferred/Affirming Name

The University Preferred Name Policy enables members of the campus community including students, faculty and staff to use and be known by a preferred name that affirms, reflects, and/or expresses their gender, culture, and/or other aspects of their social identity in the classroom and to conduct general business at the university.

Students who wish to use a preferred or affirming name may submit an online request form at go.rowan.edu/PreferredNameChange

Important Notes about Changing Addresses and Official NJ Residency Policy

Please note that whatever you select as your permanent address must truly be your permanent address and reflect your official state of residency as determined by state law.

Changing your address will NOT automatically trigger a review of residency for tuition purposes. Students who move into New Jersey should make an official request for a residency review. Residency review requests should be made before the term bill is due. The Registrar runs address change reports several times each year, so students who change their address to an out-of-state address should be prepared to have their tuition adjusted to the out-of-state rate.
