Service Overview
The Name Change Request Service is offered to all Niagara College faculty, staff and students.
Employees: Please register your official name change with HR before filling out this form.
Students: Please register your official name change with the Registers Office before filling out this form.
Please Note: Changing your name will typically result in a change to your username and email address. When the name change is complete, an email notification will be sent to your personal email account (if provided), or to the employee submitting the Name Change Request, containing your new email address and username. Your old mailbox will be renamed to your new mailbox and your old email address will continue to forward mail to your new email address. Don't forget to let all your contacts know your new email address as soon as you receive it.
Additional Information
Preferred Name
Employees may prefer to go by a name that is different from their legal name. Also, employees may want to have this name appear instead of their legal name in various ITS college systems such as Outlook mail, phone directory, portal, Brightspace and other Niagara College records and documents. Add/modify your preferred name by logging into the Niagara Portal, selecting Oracle-Employee Self Service and then selecting the Preferred Name link. Record your name the way you want others to see it. Note: This does not change your username or email address.
When should you not fill out a Name Change Request Form?
In some cases, employees will choose to change their name with HR but do not want their professional or college name and email to change. In this situation, please do not fill out a Name Change Form.
