Regis University is working on a more streamlined mechanism to facilitate chosen name changes in our systems. While that project is underway, this webpage provides guidance and direction on how to request a chosen name change for email, rosters, and usernames, as well as the WorldClass and Colleague systems.

Please note: This page outlines the steps to be taken by anyone electing to have a chosen name used in place of their legal name. This change applies to first name only and is a separate process from a legal name change. Students who have a legal name change, please complete a Change of Name Affidavit.
