Account Name Changes
Updating Your Computer Username
Due to technical complications, UNCG ITS is unable to perform computer account name (user name) changes at this time and has placed a temporary hold on username changes while it continues to research and develop a solution that will allow for username changes to work across all UNCG systems.
Updating Your Legal Name
- Students can request legal name changes at the Registrar's Office.
- SPA Employees can contact Human Resources at (336) 334-5009.
- EPA Employees can contact the Office of the Provost at (336) 334-5494.
Updating Your Preferred Display Name
