2. Preferred Name

   Old Dominion University recognizes that some members of the ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ community may use first and/or last names other than their legal names to identify themselves. In line with its commitment to inclusion and diversity, ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ allows students, faculty, and staff to use a preferred first and last name for certain purposes. ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ will not accept a preferred name that is vulgar, offensive, or obscene or intended for misrepresentation.

   A preferred name is a first and/or last name that is chosen to be used instead of a legal first and/or last name. The legal name will continue to be used where required by law or university requirements. Student information will be linked to both legal and preferred name for the purpose of Old Dominion University records.

   Faculty, staff, or students who update their preferred name after receiving their ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ identification card may request a replacement card. The replacement card will allow students to have their preferred name listed on the front of the card, however, their legal name will be listed on the back of the ID card. One free card will be provided. Additional cards will be subject to change.

   The legal name will be used when it is required for business, legal, and external purposes such as finance, financial aid, diplomas, transcripts, policy records, conduct records, medical and health records, and payroll. Faculty names in Canvas will reflect the legal name, not the preferred one.
