Name Change Form

UAMS recognizes that some individuals have a strong preference to use and be known by a name other than their Legal Name for reasons related to their gender identity, cultural background, or for other social or personal reasons. UAMS shall permit employees and students to designate, use, and be known within the UAMS community by a Preferred Name, to the extent that doing so is consistent with law, assures the integrity of UAMS official records, and is reasonably feasible to accommodate within the UAMS record-management systems. An application for change of name may be denied if the change is determined to be inconsistent with law or with other UAMS policies or damaging to, or not in the best interest of, UAMS, its students, or employees.
