Name

Follow these steps to apply for an official name change:

  • Bring the following documentation showing your new name to the Office of the Registrar:
    • original signed social security card
    • driver's license
    • (If you are not a United States citizen, you must show a valid passport and photo ID reflecting the new name.)

  • Notify your instructors of your name change to avoid grading discrepancies. You only need to do this if you are changing your name mid-semester.
  • Look for your new and former names on your SDSU transcript.

Note: In special cases where you would not like your previous name to appear, an appeal with supporting documents may be presented to the Office of the Registrar for review.
