You can change your official name or your chosen name in York’s systems, but the process for doing so as an employee and as a student are separate.
To change your name as an employee, please fill out this form and send it to hrhelp@yorku.ca with the subject line “Employee Name Change Application Form”.
To change your name as a student, you will need to change your Student Personal Information. The Centre for Human Rights, Equity, and Inclusion can help you with this process if you email them at rights@yorku.ca.
The university does not display your gender/titles except where required by law. To officially change your gender with York’s systems, contact the Centre for Human Rights, Equity, and Inclusion.
For information on how to change how your name appears on eClass, see How Do I Change my Name in eClass.
If you would like additional assistance or run into problems at any step in the process, feel free to contact a union rep for assistance.
