Changing Your Name on Canvas

"Changing Your Name on Canvas" banner

Currently, name changes will update the day after the appropriate office makes the change.

Students

Students need to fill out the chosen name form and submit to AARO (Academic Advising & Registration Office).

Download the Name Change PDF: Legal or Chosen Name form.

Staff / Faculty

Employees need to contact Human Resources to make this request. ITS staff can’t change just Canvas itself…as it will reset to what is entered in Colleague.
