If your award has not been conferred (graduated) then update your name on your student record before applications to graduate close:
If your award has not been conferred (graduated) then update your name on your student record before applications to graduate close:
- If your name is spelt incorrectly, or part of your name needs to be added, deleted or changed: Send a full colour scan of one of the following documents via Email Us: Birth Certificate, Current Passport showing your full name or Citizenship Certificate.
- If a marriage certificate is supplied, it must be supplied alongside one of the above documents.
- If a change of name certificate is supplied, it must be supplied alongside one of the above documents.
- If your name is missing accents: send the Graduations Team an email via Email Us confirming how your name should appear with accents. Your name will only appear on your certificate with accents.
- If your name has incorrect capitalisation, spacing, or hyphens: send the Graduations Team an email via Email Us confirming how your name should appear
It's important to take action as soon as possible, once your award has been conferred, your name can only be changed in limited circumstances. If you have any questions about how your name is displayed or you are concerned you will not be able to submit your documents on time, contact the Graduations Team for advice via Email Us.
