Name Change
Official Name Change
- If you have legally changed your name, please present your Updated Social Security card to the Registrar's office. Make sure to bring a current photo ID.
- Once updated by the Registrar's office, your account should reflect the change on all portals with the exception of the email display name. This is done in MySCAD by updating your Preferred Name.
Preferred Name - Changing your Preferred Name will update your display name for email, MySCAD, and Blackboard.
- Login to MySCAD and select the My Info tab
- Click the Personal Information link beneath the My Personal Info heading, then choose Edit in the top right corner of the Personal Details section.
- Enter your new preferred first name in the blank box. This name will be combined with your last name and will become your display name.
- Click Update to finish. It will update within 8 hours.
Please note that your username and email address will not change
