Preferred Name Request Form

A preferred name is a name that you commonly use that is different from your legal first name – it is what you want to be called. This form allows you to submit a request to have the name that appears in the Learning Hub changed to your preferred name.

If your preferred first name is the same as your legal first name, do not submit this form.

* Note: Changes to a last name must be made through the Student Information and Enrolment Services office. If your last name is hyphenated, it can be shortened in the Learning Hub. ex. Smith-Doe can become Smith or Doe.

This only changes your name in the Learning Hub, not in Banner/Registration.

If your preferred first name is the same as your legal first name, do not submit this form.

This only changes your name in the Learning Hub, not in Banner/Registration. You can request to change the information that BCIT uses to contact you in the Online Self Service section of myBCIT. This includes your phone number, address, and email address.
