As a Maryville student, you may choose how you want your name to be displayed by indicating the name by which you want to be identified.<\/p>\n<p>A chosen name can be an important part of a person\u2019s identity, and the University recognizes many members of our community may want to use a name which is different from their legal name. The University is committed to using the chosen first and\/or middle names of individuals in our community wherever possible and appropriate, except where the use of the legal name is required by university business or legal need.<\/p>\n<p>Maryville University defines \u201cchosen name\u201d as a first and\/or middle name other than the one the student is known by legally, and which is the preferred name or name-in-use by which the student wishes to be identified. <\/p>\n<h2>Indicating a Chosen Name<\/h2>\n<p>Incoming Maryville students may indicate a chosen name on their application for admission. Enrolled and current students may indicate a chosen name online through the Maryville Self-Service system <a href=\"https:\/\/community.maryville.edu\/s\/article\/How-do-I-indicate-I-would-like-to-be-identified-by-a-name-other-than-my-legal-name\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">following these steps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Legal Name Change<\/h2>\n<p>Indicating a chosen name is not a legal name change.  In the event of a legal name change (first, middle, and\/or last name) students should initiate an update to their legal name <a href=\"https:\/\/community.maryville.edu\/s\/article\/How-do-I-update-personal-information\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">following these steps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Display of Name<\/h2>\n<p>Maryville strives to provide a consistent chosen name experience across all university systems. Once the student provides a chosen name, the systems indicated below will reflect the change.  Please note, due to integrations and other technical considerations, most systems will not be updated immediately; changes should reflect within up to 48 hours.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-scroll\">\n<table class=\"hoverTable\">\n<caption>When Chosen and Legal Names Are Displayed<\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th width=\"500\">\n<h3>CHOSEN name will appear<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<th width=\"500\">\n<h3>LEGAL name will appear<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"text1\">Advisor\/advisee list <\/td>\n<td class=\"text1\">Billing statement<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"text1\">Canvas <\/td>\n<td class=\"text1\">Degree verification<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"text1\">Class and grade roster <\/td>\n<td class=\"text1\">Enrollment verification<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"text1\">Commencement program (based on name indicated on graduation application) <\/td>\n<td class=\"text1\">eValue (clinical documentation site for Graduate Nursing programs)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"text1\">Dean\u2019s List<\/td>\n<td class=\"text1\">Financial aid documents<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"text1\">Diploma (based on name indicated on graduation application)<\/td>\n<td class=\"text1\">Immigration documents<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"text1\">Integrated Maryville systems, except where otherwise indicated \u2013 facultystaff.maryville.edu, community.maryville.edu, ADP, Corq, Get InvolvedMU, OneCard, etc.<\/td>\n<td class=\"text1\">Maryville systems which are not integrated with the student information system (includes clinical documentation programs for Health Professions programs)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"text1\">Internal correspondence, such as emails from University offices to you<\/td>\n<td class=\"text1\">Official correspondence with external entities<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"text1\">Maryville student identification card<\/td>\n<td class=\"text1\">Official and unofficial transcripts <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"text1\">Residence Life roster<\/td>\n<td class=\"text1\">Paychecks<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"text1\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"text1\">Student Account Suite\/ePay<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"text1\"> <\/td>\n<td class=\"text1\">W2, 1098T, and other tax forms<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2>University Issued Identification Cards<\/h2>\n<p>An individual\u2019s chosen name may be listed on the Maryville University identification card. You should know ID cards are issued for the purpose of university business only, are not considered government-issued identification for purposes such as air travel.<\/p>\n<p>The University currently issues mobile ID cards.  If a chosen name has been indicated at the time the mobile ID is downloaded, it will reflect the chosen name.  If a chosen name is indicated after the initial issuance of a mobile ID, an updated mobile ID can be downloaded on demand after a chosen name is entered.<\/p>\n<h2>Maryville Email Address &#038; Username<\/h2>\n<p>Indicating a chosen name does not impact your Maryville email address or username.  Changes to email address\/username may be requested as a result of a legal name change (see information above). However, the display name associated with your account will reflect the chosen name. <\/p>\n<p>For example, a student with the legal name of Cameron Smith has a username of csmith1, which is also the leading portion of the email address.  The name displayed with the account and email reflects this student\u2019s chosen name of Jordan Smith; the username remains csmith1. <\/p>\n<h2>Other Considerations<\/h2>\n<p>Maryville University reserves the right to deny or remove a chosen name for any reason, including but not limited to misuse, misrepresentation, attempting to avoid obligation, or inappropriate or offensive names.<\/p>\n<p>Under FERPA, a student\u2019s name, including chosen name, may be disclosed to the public as directory information unless the student opts not to permit such disclosure (i.e., FERPA Hold).
