Can I change the name on my campus ID card?
Yes, students can request to have a new Campus Identification Card issued to them after including a preferred first name on their academic file with the Office of the Registrar. All student ID cards and records maintain the same Banner ID#. The Department of Campus Safety is located at 88 Hamilton St. Email: cusafety@colgate.edu.
How can students add a preferred name to their campus records and documents?
Most students include their preferred first names on their Common Application for admission, but if not, students may visit the Office of the Registrar to make the request. Only legal names will appear on the academic transcript and diploma. In the event that a student legally changes their name, a name change request form should be filed with the Office of the Registrar. This name will appear on all academic records, including transcript and diploma. The Office of the Registrar is located at 126 McGregory Hall, Colgate University. Email:registrar@colgate.edu.
Students may request the addition of a preferred first name to their academic record to appear on their academic file alongside their legal full name. A preferred first name will appear in the online and printed course roster; Dean’s, advisor’s, coach’s dashboard directory; Campus Directory; and on the student’s graduation checklist. A preferred first name can be used on your Portal account by logging in, and editing the “My Information” tab under “My Contact Information.”
Students can change their title (Mr., Miss, Ms., Mrs., no title) for campus correspondence and documentation by request to the Office of the Registrar. All campus correspondence and materials should utilize the preferred first name except for university payroll and financial aid.
