Please note that certain systems may take up to 24 hours to display a preferred first name. In addition, you may need to clear your browsers cache for the preferred first name to be displayed.
Please only indicate one preferred first name and do not include your last name. Names that use special characters such as commas may not display in Blackboard. If your current full name is Jonathan Smith and your preferred first name is Johnny then you would enter Johnny in the box NOT Johnny Smith. If you enter your last name too, then your name will show up as Johnny Smith Smith. Do not enter multiple names like Johnny or John, please choose one. Anything you enter will be displayed on your course roster in Banner, the email system, and other applications where preferred name can be updated.
