Request for Change to Legal Name at Nelson University

Request for Change to Legal Name at Nelson University
Student: Nelson University (formerly, SAGU) uses a student's full legal name in many of its day-to-day operations. In addition to the university's efforts to accurately identify students, this name is reported to state and federal authorities for financial aid, IRS, and other reporting purposes.

Therefore, any request for a name change must be accompanied by properly filed documents and identity information indicating that the student has legally changed his/her name with the relevant authorities. The university will not process requests for changes without such documentation.

Further, except for unusual circumstances, the university only updates the names of currently enrolled students (i.e., a student who has enrolled within the last three semesters). Students who reapply to Nelson University to enroll in courses will submit this form during the Admissions process. Please note, the form will not be processed until the semester of enrollment begins.

Students should expect this process to take one business week to complete during normal operations. During times of heavy traffic (e.g., course selection, the beginning of the semester, graduation, etc.), it may take up to two business weeks to complete.
