For graduating students, requests should be made no later than September 30 of the graduating year. The request should be made by completing, in duplicate, the “Application for Effecting Name Change” form, available at the Student Records Office. A certified copy of the legal document attesting to the change must accompany the application. The Student Records Office will, after receiving the request, effect the change on the student’s records and send a copy of the form to the Head of School. The name that will be used on a student’s academic record is that which occurs on the last registration form completed by the student, unless a request for change of name is made. A name change will not be effected after a student has left the University. R E G U L A T I O N 3
