Change to Reporting Center: preferred name

Beginning November 17 (by 1:00 p.m.), six reports in Reporting Center will reflect a student’s preferred name instead of their primary (legal) name. If a student has not listed a preferred name, their primary (legal) name will continue to be used. The six reports that will use preferred name include:

• Student selector (report ID 314)
• Major/minor roster (report ID 233)
• Student group roster (report ID 2) 
• Dean’s list (report ID 230)
• Degree applicant (report ID 195)
• Student addresses (report ID 88) (This is a drill-through report linked to the other reports.)

APAS reports will also include a student’s preferred name. Students can enter a preferred name via MyU > My Info. This change has been implemented to give students more control over how their personal information appears to others. In the future, additional reports will begin using preferred names instead of primary (legal) names.
