Name and Address Changes

The Registrar's Office accepts name changes in the following ways:

• Completing the online form (updating student listing) from the directories website: www.stthomas.edu/directories. You will still need to submit the required documents for the change to go through - see below. Also, this link will take you to a payroll department site, however it is for Human Resources, Registrar's Office and Campus Post Office.
   
• You may also send, fax or deliver a signed letter and the required documents.
  
• You may submit a transcript request that is accompanied by the required documents.
  
• Name changes need to have the student's old name, new name, required documents and student's signature.

One of the following forms of legal documents is needed before a name change will be completed:

• Social Security Card: The card must have the correct/current name (a copy of both the back and front of the card are required). The number on the card will need to match the number that we have on the system in order for this form of documentation to be accepted.
  
• Marriage License: A copy with both the old/previous and new/changed name included in the documentation.
  
• Divorce Papers: A copy with both the old/previous and new/changed name included in the documentation.
  
• Court Ordered Documentation: A copy with both the old/previous and new/changed name included in the documentation.
  
• Driver’s License that reflects name change; must be valid (non-expired)

A transcript request form can be used as the form indicating a name change so long as it is accompanied by the appropriate documentation. We do not change names when we receive a form or letter that indicates a name has changed without having the required documents first.
