​Texas Tech University strives to provide an inclusive educational environment for all students.  The university recognizes the importance of affording students with the opportunity to designate a chosen first name and/or gender identity where possible.  However, in certain circumstances and within some official documents, legal designations may be required by law or university policy (e.g., transcripts, financial aid records, payroll).  The chosen first name will be the sole first name used for professional communication and identification purposes.  Please complete the Student Identity Record Change Form for chosen first name changes.   Legal first and/or last names cannot be updated via this form.

​Please complete the Student Identity Record Change Form.  This form is required for chosen first name changes, and should not be used for preferred first name (i.e., nickname) designations.  The preferred first name can be updated via Raiderlink (My Personal Information), and is used for shortened legal name/nickname purposes.  Preferred first name designations are only necessary if the preferred first name differs from the chosen first name.

​Please complete the Student Identity Record Change Form.  Gender identity designations are currently limited to biological sex terms; however, they are the only options currently available in our system. As more options become available, we will make appropriate revisions to this form/process.
