How do I update my 'known as' name?

Staff and students are able to specify a name by which they wish to be known on University systems. This applies to first names only, for example

• Joe rather than Joseph
• Jane rather than Joseph
• John rather than Joseph John

We cannot guarantee the known as name will be shown in all instances. If you wish to hide a previous name, please apply for an Aber ID instead by updating your forenames and/or surname on the Student Record

Students

• Log in to your Student Record 
• Select My Personal Information and then choose Personal Details
• To change your name select the option I want to change my name, under your profile picture
• Set your known-as name
• Select Save changes
• Please note you can only edit your known as name once. After this, to change your known-as name, you will need to email Academic Registry
  • Undergraduates  - ugfstaff@aber.ac.uk
  • Postgraduates - pgsstaff@aber.ac.uk

It will take up to two hours for this change to come through to Blackboard and Primo. 

Staff

• Email Human Resources hr@aber.ac.uk

Once you have set a known as name this will be used in preference to your official name on your email and Aber Card.
