Current Students
Current students can update their names and addresses directly in Workday following the instructions here: Workday Name/Address Change Instructions. Remember, you are required to upload required documentation into Workday for changes to legal name. Requests that do not include both of the following will be sent back for revision.
Former Students
Former students should submit a completed UAMS Student Change of Name and Address Form. Legal name change requests must also be accompanied by required documentation. Completed forms and documentation should be submitted to the Office of the University Registrar in one of the following ways:
- By Mail: 4301 West Markham, Slot #767, Little Rock, AR 72205
- By Fax: (501) 526-3220
- By Email: Registrar@uams.edu
- In Person: CHP Building #2 (Behind the Admin West Building)
Required Documentation
All legal name changes must be accompanied by copies BOTH of the following documents:
- A copy of your current driver’s license or other government-issued ID showing your new name, AND
- A copy of your Social Security card showing your new name
If you are unable to provide either of the specified documents, please contact the Office of the University Registrar (registrar@uams.edu) for guidance on other acceptable documents.
Legal and Preferred Names
Students are permitted to provide an alternative “preferred” first and/or middle name that differ from the legal name on file. The preferred name appears on class rosters and Workday records; the legal name will appear on the UAMS transcript. Preferred name change requests are reviewed and approved before appearing in Workday, and generally do not require additional documentation. UAMS does not permit the legal and preferred last names to differ. Requests to change the preferred last name to a value different than the legal last name will be denied unless approved by the University Registrar due to special circumstances. Requests for special circumstance consideration should be sent to Clinton D. Everhart, Ed.D., Assistant Provost for Enrollment Services and University Registrar: cdeverhart@uams.edu.
UAMS Email
The change of name processes outlined above do not automatically change your UAMS email address. To request a change to your UAMS email, please contact the UAMS IT Help Desk at 501-686-8555 or by email at helpdesk@uams.edu. The Office of the University Registrar does not process email address changes.
