Overview

---

If your name is misspelled or has legally changed, you must update your official student record before we can issue a corrected Form 1098-T (Tuition Statement).

 

Update Your Legal Name with the Registrar

---

The Office of the Registrar manages all legal name changes for the university.

1. Visit the Registrar’s Name and SSN/ITIN Change page.
2. Select Request to Update or Change Name or SSN/ITIN.
3. Provide the required proof of your new name (e.g., a Social Security Card, Marriage License, or Passport).

 

Request an Updated 1098-T

---

Updating your name with the Registrar does not automatically update your tax form. You must notify our office once the Registrar has confirmed your change.

• Submit a support ticket to request a corrected 1098-T.
• We will then regenerate your current 1098-T with your updated name.
  • Important Policy: We can only update the 1098-T for the current tax year. We cannot change the name on forms from previous tax years.
