Name Changes

To report a name change, submit a Student Change of Name Form by creating a ticket on the Support Hub.

Current Students:

A name-change request must be accompanied by legal documentation, such as a court order or marriage license. The name change will be reflected on the student record, and a reference to the former name will be maintained for search purposes only.

Alumni:

Name changes for alumni are handled as follows, concerning transcripts and diplomas:

• For a name change after graduation from Lesley, legal documentation, such as a court order or marriage license, must be provided.
• The name under which the student graduated from Lesley will remain on the transcript, with the exception of a former student who has undergone gender reassignment.
• If it’s necessary to verify your credentials for another party, we suggest you provide that party with the same documentation of the name change you are providing to Lesley.
• If you’d like an updated copy of the diploma, include with your name-change documentation a check for $50, a signed copy of the Diploma Reprint Request (PDF) form, and either the original diploma or a notarized statement that the original diploma has been lost or destroyed.

Your new diploma may look quite different from your original.

A statement will be included with the new diploma, indicating that it is a reissue and including the former name.
