ITS has been collaborating with several departments around campus to assess ways to increase inclusivity and comfort for our students while here on campus. In conjunction with this goal, we are changing our Preferred Name form in Banner Self-Service to be both more expansive and transparent.
Users can now fill out the Preferred Name form in Banner Self-Service under the Personal tab and, once processed, be able to see preferred name changes reflected throughout several campus systems such as Google, Microsoft, Canvas, Banner, Runway, and even your display name when you log in to a university-owned computer.
Please allow up to 24 hours for your name change to be reflected in these various systems. It is also important to note that due to there being thousands of custom reports run on campus, some communication with your preferred name may be sent to your home address. If you have updated your information through this form and notice that certain systems are not correct after a week’s time, please contact the Help Desk at 731-881-7900.
