Preferred and Legal Name Policy

Beacon College recognizes that many members of its community members use names other than Legal Names that were first provided to the College to identify themselves. For some students, a chosen Preferred Name may be an important part of their identity. Therefore, the College has established guidelines that allow students and employees to indicate their preferred first names to the College community even if they have not changed their legal names.

When making a name change request, the student accepts the risk of confusion and unforeseen results from using a name that differs from the name on college records.

Legal Name

A name, also commonly known as a given name, that appears on the state issued ID card, driver’s license, passport, social security card, birth certificate, and immigration
