A request to change your name in the Colorado Mesa University Administrative System must be made in person at the Admission/Records office.

If you are an employee (faculty, staff, or student), federal regulations require employers to validate that the employee's name on record exactly matches the name which appears on the individual's social security card to ensure proper tax reporting. Thus, in order to reflect your name change on your personnel and payroll records, you must present your social security card which reflects your new name to the Human Resources Office in Lowell Heiny Hall.

If you are a student and are NOT employed with Colorado Mesa University, please bring your social security card to the Admission/Records Office in Lowell Heiny Hall.

If you have not requested a change of name with the Social Security Administration, please apply for a new social security card with the nearest Social Security Administration Office. (Note: You will need to bring an original legal document reflecting your new name to support your request for the name change. (Examples of accepted legal documents include a birth certificate, marriage license, divorce decree, etc.) Once you receive your new Social Security card, please bring it to the appropriate office. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the Admission/Records office (970) 248-1555.
