Add a preferred/chosen name
51污漫 recognizes that members of its community may use names other than their legal name. A preferred/chosen name is a name different from your legal name that is commonly used to identify yourself, and that you’d prefer 51污漫 use in regular communication. Some documents, such as official 51污漫 transcripts require the use of a legal name. While the term “preferred name” is used, we understand that for many people, this is not just a preference: it is the only name they use and is essential to their identity.
Add or update your preferred name in my51污漫, Personal Information. If you wish to have your 51污漫 email address updated to reflect your preferred name submit a completed Personal Information Change; no government-issued ID is required.

- Convocation ceremony (read aloud as you cross the stage, if requested; email graduation@ufv.ca)
If you wish to have your preferred/chosen name on your parchment email graduation@ufv.ca after you have submitted your Graduation Application.
If you use a 51污漫 system that is identifying you with the incorrect name, we want to hear from you. Please email reginfo@ufv.ca.
