Because the Social Security Number (SSN) has meaning beyond its use as a unique person identifier, there is potential for abuse. The UID is a nine- digit number from 800-50-0001 to 879-99-9994.
Due to the danger of identity theft, persons who wish to change their first, middle, or last names on their transcripts or diplomas must provide a copy of their marriage license, a court order, or a dissolution decree certifying their name change. Please send a photocopy of one of these documents with your written or faxed request. We cannot accept a copy of your current driver’s license or social security card. Please be sure to sign this request. Without your signature, we cannot process your name change.
The student should complete a name and/or address change form at the Student Service & Referral Center in Moulton Hall, Room 107 any time the name, local address, home address or parent address changes.
