SA004.1 Student Preferred Name Policy

ULM recognizes that many of its students use first names other than their legal (primary) first names to identify themselves. It is the policy of ULM that any student may choose to identify within the University community with a preferred first name that differs from their legal name. The preferred first name will appear in university related systems and documents except where the use of the legal name is necessitated or required by law or University business needs. Systems that do not require legal names will be updated to use preferred names as they are reconfigured or newly implemented.
