Personal Information Updates
Name/Gender Change Information
If you recently changed your legal name or legal gender and need to update it within the University Administrative System, please complete the packet below and contact Human Resources to schedule a Name/Gender Change Appointment. If you are changing your name, you will need to present your Social Security Card that reflects your new name.
A new Social Security Card can be obtained through your local Social Security Administrative Office. You will need to bring an original legal document (such as a marriage record/divorce decree or court order) reflecting your new name to support your request for the name change. The Social Security Administration website has more information for changing your name. Please note that this documentation does not need to be brought to your appointment with Human Resources, only to your SSA appointment.
