- You can change your “preferred name”, “gender identity” and “pronouns” without submitting any documentation (see how here)
- You can change your legal name and gender by submitting official court and/or state documents
- This will trigger a team at Stevens to update: MyStevens, RMS, Canvas, DuckSuccess, Handshake, Ducklink, Outlook Global Address List, and how your name appears in email
