Name Changes

Each student must complete Step 3 of the Graduation Application Process. On Step 3, you will select the name you want listed on your diploma. This name is what is used on your diploma and listed on the Commencement program. In addition, each student with a graduation application, receives an email upon filingfor graduation "Name on Diploma". It shows you how your name is listed in the University's system. This is the name that we use. If you want anything different than what is listed in the email, the email includes links on how to change the name. The name change deadline is the same deadline as filing for graduation. We do not make any adjustments to the name once Step 4 is sent to the graduating student. It is the student's responsibility to adhere to all deadlines. 

• Review your name on the email sent to you after filing for graduation "Name on Diploma".
• Ensure your name is the way you want it.
• If your name is not the name you would like to use for Graduation and Diploma purposes, visit https://www.memphis.edu/registrar/students/records/personal-data.php. Upload the Name Change Form with supporting documentation to the secure website mentioned on the linked page above.
