Changing your forename(s) or surnames

When you first register with the university the name entered on your student record is checked against the form of ID presented (e.g. a passport) and, if necessary, is updated to match the document to correct any spelling errors or include missing names (e.g. middle names).

If you change your name during your studies you should let the university know as soon as possible otherwise when it comes to issuing your certificates and transcripts we could end up printing them with the wrong name and may not be able to change it after your award has been given.

To change your name you need to visit the Student Centre.  They will need to see a suitable copy of evidence detailing the name change (passport, marriage cert, deedpoll etc.) and your student ID number.  In most cases the team will update your record, attach a scan copy of the document to your record and issue a new ÐÓ°ÉappÏÂÔØ Gateway card.

In the rare occasion the team are unable to update your record this will be explained, but this is usually because you have officially completed your studies.  If you have any questions about this please contact the Student Centre.
