Adding or Changing Preferred Name
Students may use preferred first and middle names at S&T. Preferred first and middle names are used on class rosters, ID cards, transcripts and diplomas and other locations where the legal name is not required. All preferred names should be entered into Joe’SS following the instructions. Do not use quotation marks when entering any name type.
The University Policy governing the use of preferred names is found at 180.040 Student Preferred Name Policy
The path to update a preferred name in Joe’SS is:
Student Center > Personal Information > Names > Add a New Name
If a preferred name is already set then click the edit button to change it.
Issues or Concerns
Unfortunately, not all people, processes or applications may be aware of the preferred name. If you encounter any issue or have a concern please contact S&T Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
