Academic records at Â鶹´«Ã½ are permanently maintained by Â鶹´«Ã½ name. Students may maintain academic records under the name used at the time of admission, or they may change their legal name.

Legal proof is required:

  • Marriage license
  • Divorce decree
  • Court order specifying name change

Please note: Name changes will not be made for an inactive Â鶹´«Ã½.
