For Faculty/Staff: Change Preferred Names and Preferred Name Email Address in MyJob

Faculty and staff can change their preferred names in the MyJob financial and HR system. And with your preferred name change, you can optionally create a preferred email address reflecting your name change. For more details, see "Change Your Display Name and Email Address."

Note that name changes in MyJob do not automatically sync with CheckMarq. Since CheckMarq serves as a data source for D2L and other academic systems, instructors may wish to update their legal or preferred name in CheckMarq as well. Faculty and staff can update their name in CheckMarq by submitting a Name Change Form [PDF] to the Office of the Registrar.
