Name Changes

To change the legal name maintained on the student’s official UCF record, the student must submit a completed "Change of Name" form and supporting documentation to the appropriate UCF office. Attach to the form a copy of a legal name change document (e.g., marriage certificate, divorce decree, etc.). Undergraduate students must submit the form to the Registrar’s Office (MH 161). Graduate students must submit the form to the Graduate Studies Office (MH 230). Current UCF employees and those students who have been UCF employees within twelve months of the date the name change is requested must submit the form to the Human Resources Office (12565 Research Parkway). The "Change of Name" form is available from the Registrar’s Office at MH 161 or online at http://registrar.ucf.edu.
