Please go to Directory Listing Name in the Personal Info application to update.

Please go to Chosen Name in the Personal Info application to update.

Directory Listing name is mainly displayed along with your legal name in people search http://search.rutgers.edu/. For example, if your legal first name is Robert, but you save a directory listing name as Bob, then your directory listing will show both your legal name Robert Smith and your directory listing name (Bob Smith) on the search result.

However, your Chosen/Preferred name will display in most places where your legal name would otherwise be shown. For example , if your legal first name is Robert, but you set a Chosen Name as Bob, then your directory listing in people search and other systems such as myRutgers, Canvas, etc will show Bob Smith . Your original first legal name Robert will not be displayed.’

Most applications will only display your Chosen Name if you set one. Only when required , certain applications will continue to display your Legal First Name.

For more information on chosen/preferred name, please go to https://scarlethub.rutgers.edu/registrar/personal-information-updates/name-change/ for students and go to https://uhr.rutgers.edu/worklife-balance/submitting-chosen-name for employees.
