Student Services can informally notify your School that you have a preferred name, but we can’t be sure how this will be used within your School. To let us know your preferred name please complete an enquiry and we will pass this on to a contact in your School.
We are not able to use a preferred name for your formal student record. This record must match your legal name. Preferred names will not be used in university systems or processes such as Moodle, Timetabling, or NottinghamHub.
To request an update to the official name on your student record, you’ll need to complete the name/gender update request form. As part of the form, you’ll be asked to provide evidence that supports the update being requested. Further information is available here.
