Chosen Name
Moraine Valley recognizes that many of its students use a name other than their legal name. Students may fill out the Chosen Name Request form to change their first name only. Forms are available at the Registration Office, Building S, Room S103; Admissions Office, Building S, Room S101; Multicultural Student Affairs, Building S, Room S216; or, Title IX Coordinator’s office, Building G, Room G253. Forms must be submitted at the Registration Office. It is strongly recommended that students complete a chosen name request at least two full weeks prior to the start of a semester. If a request is made after this date, students must understand that pre-printed copies of class rosters will not show their updated chosen name and they must notify all current instructors of their requested chosen name. A chosen name doesn’t change the student’s legal name on official academic records such as transcripts and diplomas.
