International Students

Setting Up Your Preferred Name

  • Log into https://identity.uw.edu/ and follow the directions to set or change your preferred name with the University. You may choose a different first, middle, and/or last name as your preferred name.

    The University of Washington allows students to identify the name they would like to be called in classroom settings and when interacting with University personnel. This preferred name is used in a variety of applications. If you prefer to go by anything other than your legal name, you will want to set up your preferred name in the UW system as soon as possible.
