The University recognizes that individuals may prefer to use first names other than their official ones to identify themselves. As long as the use of this affirmed/preferred name is not for the purposes of misrepresentation or to avoid a legal obligation, individuals may use their affirmed/preferred first name in University systems wherever that functionality is enabled and allowed. Use this form for non-legal name changes only.

How will my affirmed/preferred name be used?

To change your UNM Directory display name, use the Directory tab on the Directory Self-Service page, or see FastInfo 6461 for more information.

If you have legally changed your name, please complete the Demographic Data Change Form to have your Banner record updated.
