Changing Records

Chosen Name

Any student who goes by a chosen name (or a name in use other than their legal name) is able to add that name in MyRed. Their chosen name will show up on class and grade rosters, in the UNL Directory, and on Canvas.

Transcripts and Registration Records

To change the name or legal sex on university records, bring legal documentation to Office of the University Registrar located within Husker Hub. Legal documentation can be an amended driver’s license, an updated birth certificate, a court order indicating a legal name change, and/or a passport reflecting the changes.

NCard

NCards are now available with chosen name on the front of the card, and legal name on the back. For new students with a chosen name in the system the name will be available on the first card acquired.

Replacing an NCard to reflect a recently changed chosen name requires a replacement fee. New NCards reflecting legal name changes are available at no cost. New NCards simply reflecting change in appearance (expression/presentation), meaning ones with new pictures, are available from the NCard office for a replacement fee.

Diploma

To change the name listed on an already printed diploma, fill out a 'Duplicate Diploma' request form and pay the associated fee. This can be done in person at the Canfield Administration Building or via mail.
