Name change
Although students can change much of their personal information as needed directly within the cMore system, a student who changes his/her name while at the University must present supporting documentation to the University Registrar. The student must present to a notary public a name change form, available online at http://registrar.uchicago.edu/pdfdocs/name_change.pdf, along with a driver's license, Social Security card, or passport displaying the new name, or a court order or similar legal document authorizing the name change. In the notary's presence, the student must sign the name change form. A notary public is available in the Law School Office of Student Affairs, Room 501. The notarized form then must be submitted to the University Registrar.
Foreign students: Except under special circumstances, the names of foreign students in University of Chicago records should match the names as they appear on their passports. Foreign students wishing to change their names in University records should provide government-issued identification corresponding to their new names and should also contact the Office of International Affairs.
