Preferred Name

You can update your "Preferred Name" at https://my.clemson.edu/#/name

Clemson University began a phased implementation of a Preferred Name Procedure in Spring 2016. Ultimately, this will provide a consistent preferred name experience across University systems and use of one’s preferred name wherever legal name is not absolutely necessary. However, Clemson University’s infrastructure is multi-faceted and complex so the task of updating all systems will take some time. Preferred names will be displayed to the university community where feasible and appropriate. Currently, preferred name will be displayed on

• my.Clemson
• Online Directory (phonebook)
• Canvas Learning Management System
• Class Rolls in Data Warehouse and iROAR Report Generator
• TigerOne Card (printed after March 1, 2017)
• Outlook

Clemson University students may choose to identify themselves within the University community using a preferred name that differs from their official/legal name. A student’s preferred name will appear instead of the official/legal name in select University-related systems and documents as noted above. The official/legal name will continue to be used in all University-related systems and documents that require a verified legal name. Inappropriate use of the preferred name (including but not limited to avoiding legal obligation or misrepresentation) may be cause for denying use of preferred names. Clemson University reserves the right to remove any preferred name that is deemed inappropriate and the student is subject to the regulations contained in the Student Code of Conduct.

The Preferred Name may be 32 characters or less and is limited to alpha characters (A-Z and a-z), a space or hyphen (-). Students should refrain from using the following in their preferred name:

• Symbols, numbers, unusual capitalization, repeating characters or punctuation
• Characters from multiple languages
• Titles of any kind, ex. professional, religious
• Offensive or suggestive words of any kind
• Pretending to be anything or anyone else

Clemson University reserves the right to either deny or remove inappropriate uses of a preferred name. I understand that my full legal name will continue to be listed on all other internal and external Clemson University systems and notifications distributed by the University. Further, I understand that the use of a preferred name is not permissible for any purpose of deceit, fraud or misrepresentation and may violate certain community and ethical standards found in the Clemson University Student Code of Conduct and / or state or federal law.
