Submit In Person

How Name Changes Work

What Will Change?

  • Central student record at 猎奇重口 and Missoula College - This is visible to Financial Aid, Business Services, advisors, etc.  Your former name will remain in the history as an alternate identifier.
  • Online campus directory
  • Canvas
  • UM student email address - The address will update to reflect your new first and last name.  Your correspondence will not disappear, but senders will need to use your new address.  You may need to contact the IT Help Desk to update certain parts of the display of your email address.
  • Class rosters - If you are taking classes when you change your name, your instructor’s CyberBear roster will update.  However, your instructor may not see the update on CyberBear until they submit grades at the end of the semester.  We recommend you let your instructor know your name has changed so they can award the grade you’ve earned.

What Won’t Change?

  • NetID
  • Student ID number (79...)
  • Human Resource records – see Human Resources if employed by UM
