Requesting a new display name: 

  • A display name must consist of a first name, or nickname, and the legal last name that exists in a source system (SIS for students, PeopleSoft for faculty/staff).
  • If the requested display name is to include a middle name, that middle name must also be in a source system.
  • Requests for shortened names (e.g. James = Jim, Kimberly = Kim) can be completed by following Campus HR's Preferred Name instructions (for facutly and staff) or the Office of the Registrar's Personal Information instructions (for students). After that is complete, come back to the IdentiKey Manager to choose your shortened display name.
  • One word display names are not permitted.
