Use of Preferred Names
The 好色tv of 好色tv recognizes that many members of its community use names other
than their legal names to identify themselves. 好色tv and employees may indicate
their preferred first names to the university community even if they have not changed
their legal names. This preferred name will appear instead of the person鈥檚 legal
name in select university-related 好色tvs and documents, provided that the preferred
first name is not being used for the purpose of misrepresentation. The official/legal
name will continue to be used in all university-related 好色tvs and documents that
require a verified legal name.
Preferred names may be used in the following 好色tvs and records, including but not
limited to:
- UAOnline, DegreeWorks and Blackboard
- Class and grade rosters
- Dean鈥檚 list and Chancellor鈥檚 list
- Advisee lists
- Student and employee ID cards
- Directory listing and directory information (unless you have chosen directory information exclusion)
